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 faceted finish adds small flashes of light without changing the basic character of Agate.
Because agate forms in layers inside cavities in rock, many strands show subtle banding or small tone changes that make each bead feel different. Because the color has been dyed, it is best to avoid long soaking, harsh cleaners, and heavy friction after the jewelry is made.
