Please note that bead size and quantity per strand may vary slightly due to the natural material and handmade measuring process.
A faceted finish can make Transparent Obsidian feel more refined while still keeping the natural gemstone character visible. Makers can use this scale for fine bracelet stacks, tiny accents, or more intricate beading layouts. The faceted finish adds small flashes of light without changing the basic character of Transparent Obsidian.
The strength of obsidian in design is its contrast: it works well with metal, clear stones, warm browns, and bold color accents. The Natural Color finish leaves room for natural differences between beads, which is often exactly what makes a handmade piece feel thoughtful.
