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. The size range makes it easy to match the same stone across bracelets, necklaces, and coordinated sets. The cut surface is useful when the design needs a little sparkle but still should read as natural gemstone.
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. For customers who like visible gemstone variation, Natural Color Lapis Lazuli keeps the strand feeling authentic and easier to connect with by sight.
