Please note that bead size and quantity per strand may vary slightly due to the natural material and handmade measuring process.
Round Obsidian beads are easy to design with because they create a smooth rhythm in bracelets, necklaces, and simple strand work. This smaller size works well when the design needs gemstone detail without adding much visual weight. A polished surface helps the color and pattern read clearly in simple bracelet and necklace layouts.
The strength of obsidian in design is its contrast: it works well with metal, clear stones, warm browns, and bold color accents. Since this strand is offered in Natural Color, small tone shifts, inclusions, or cloudy areas should be expected and can make the finished jewelry feel more individual.
