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 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.
Because agate forms in layers inside cavities in rock, many strands show subtle banding or small tone changes that make each bead feel different. The dyed color treatment gives the strand a stronger and more consistent appearance, which is useful when a project needs clearer color matching.
