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 smaller size works well when the design needs gemstone detail without adding much visual weight. Faceting gives the strand a brighter surface, which can make simple jewelry feel more polished.
Black Spinel beads are useful when a design needs a natural gemstone identity with enough variation to keep the finished piece from looking mass-produced. 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.
