Please note that bead size and quantity per strand may vary slightly due to the natural material and handmade measuring process.
The geometric shape gives these Iolite beads a more structured look than standard rounds. The sizing is versatile enough for a single-material strand or for mixing with pearls, metal spacers, and other gemstones. The cut surface is useful when the design needs a little sparkle but still should read as natural gemstone.
Iolite works well for designers who want a recognizable natural material and enough visual character to make a simple layout feel considered. The Natural Color finish leaves room for natural differences between beads, which is often exactly what makes a handmade piece feel thoughtful.
