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 Obsidian, 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. Faceting gives the strand a brighter surface, which can make simple jewelry feel more polished.
Obsidian is useful when a piece needs a dark foundation or a polished black note without the sparkle of faceted crystal. Natural Color material is useful when the design should keep the stone's original character rather than a perfectly matched, factory-even look.
