Please note that bead size and quantity per strand may vary slightly due to the natural material and handmade measuring process.
The faceted surface adds light reflection to Diopside, giving the strand a more finished jewelry look. The smaller scale is useful for slim bracelets, delicate necklace sections, and spacing around larger focal beads. The cut surface is useful when the design needs a little sparkle but still should read as natural gemstone.
Diopside gives makers a clear material story without requiring a long explanation, which is helpful for customer-facing handmade jewelry. The Natural Color finish leaves room for natural differences between beads, which is often exactly what makes a handmade piece feel thoughtful.
