Please note that bead size and quantity per strand may vary slightly due to the natural material and handmade measuring process.
Round beads are a reliable choice when the design needs a clean base that can work alone or with spacers and accent stones. Makers can use this scale for fine bracelet stacks, tiny accents, or more intricate beading layouts. A polished surface helps the color and pattern read clearly in simple bracelet and necklace layouts.
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.
