Please note that bead size and quantity per strand may vary slightly due to the natural material and handmade measuring process.
The puffy coin shape gives Iolite a broader face, so the material and pattern can be seen more easily. The sizing is versatile enough for a single-material strand or for mixing with pearls, metal spacers, and other gemstones. The faceted finish adds small flashes of light without changing the basic character of Iolite.
Iolite gives makers a clear material story without requiring a long explanation, which is helpful for customer-facing handmade jewelry. Natural Color material is useful when the design should keep the stone's original character rather than a perfectly matched, factory-even look.
