Please note that bead size and quantity per strand may vary slightly due to the natural material and handmade measuring process.
Faceting helps the bead catch light from different angles, which is useful when the design needs subtle sparkle. This scale gives makers room to adjust the design from delicate to more substantial without changing the stone family. Faceting gives the strand a brighter surface, which can make simple jewelry feel more polished.
Lapis pairs beautifully with gold, brass, pearl, and white stones when a design needs contrast and a more traditional gemstone look. The Natural Color finish leaves room for natural differences between beads, which is often exactly what makes a handmade piece feel thoughtful.
