Biggest face-up look in light earrings, pear vs marquise vs oval vs half-moon
Half-moons give the most face for the least weight, then marquise, then pear, then oval. Sizes like 11x15 mm half-moons or 6x9 mm pears balance presence and comfort. By stone heft, zircon feels heaviest, then topaz, then tourmaline. At 3 mm per 8 inches: zircon 26 ct, topaz 20 ct, tourmaline 17 ct.

For designers and shops
How to label bead baggies so stone, size, hole and counts are clear
Use STONE-SHAPE-SIZE-HOLE-LENGTH/COUNT-LOT-SKU in that order, all caps with hyphens. Print on standard address or larger shipping labels in a readable font. Place the barcode at the right edge or bottom. We include examples for strands and loose pairs, plus a checklist and a size-range conversion.

Making with beads
Which chalcedony shapes lay flat and what spacing stops flipping
Rectangles lay flattest, then pears, with arrowheads needing the most control. For face-up strands, keep a slight gap: a single knot between beads adds about 1 mm and usually stops flipping for rectangles and most pears. For larger arrows or tall pears, place a knot on both sides of each drop to increase separation.
