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. 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.
The natural color range of Yooperlite can guide the whole design direction, especially when paired with metal spacers, pearls, or a quieter supporting stone. Pair it with metal spacers, pearls, seed beads, or a contrasting stone to make the material stand out more clearly.
