Please note that bead size and quantity per strand may vary slightly due to the natural material and handmade measuring process.
The faceted surface adds light reflection to Iolite, giving the strand a more finished jewelry look. 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 Iolite.
Iolite beads are useful when a design needs a natural gemstone identity with enough variation to keep the finished piece from looking mass-produced. A Natural Color strand is a good choice when the design needs organic variation instead of a very saturated or uniform color.
