Round Obsidian beads are easy to design with because they create a smooth rhythm in bracelets, necklaces, and simple strand work. The strand is easy to work into everyday jewelry layouts, from simple stretch bracelets to mixed-gemstone designs. The polished finish keeps the beads smooth and easy to combine with other jewelry components.
Obsidian is useful when a piece needs a dark foundation or a polished black note without the sparkle of faceted crystal. Natural Color material is useful when the design should keep the stone's original character rather than a perfectly matched, factory-even look.
