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.
Obsidian is useful when a piece needs a dark foundation or a polished black note without the sparkle of faceted crystal. 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.
