Please note that bead size and quantity per strand may vary slightly due to the natural material and handmade measuring process.
The rondelle profile gives these Lapis Lazuli beads a low, neat shape that works well between larger beads or near a focal component. The smaller scale is useful for slim bracelets, delicate necklace sections, and spacing around larger focal beads. The faceted finish adds small flashes of light without changing the basic character of Lapis Lazuli.
The cultural history of lapis is long, but in beadwork its value is very practical: it adds a deep blue focal color that is easy to recognize. 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.
