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 Ruby in Zoisite beads a more structured look than standard rounds. This scale gives makers room to adjust the design from delicate to more substantial without changing the stone family. The cut surface is useful when the design needs a little sparkle but still should read as natural gemstone.
Ruby in Zoisite gives makers a clear material story without requiring a long explanation, which is helpful for customer-facing handmade jewelry. 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.
