This unique bicolor effect is prized for its striking visual contrast and versatility in jewelry design. Dakota Stones offers ametrine beads that are valued for their clarity, well-defined color separation, and durability. Ametrine's hardness and stability make it suitable for a range of jewelry applications, from statement pieces to everyday wear.
