Please note that bead size and quantity per strand may vary slightly due to the natural material and handmade measuring process.
A faceted finish can make Agate feel more refined while still keeping the natural gemstone character visible. 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.
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.
