Please note that bead size and quantity per strand may vary slightly due to the natural material and handmade measuring process.
The faceted surface adds light reflection to Transparent Obsidian, giving the strand a more finished jewelry look. The smaller scale is useful for slim bracelets, delicate necklace sections, and spacing around larger focal beads. The cut surface is useful when the design needs a little sparkle but still should read as natural gemstone.
Obsidian is volcanic glass, which gives it a smooth, clean look that can make jewelry feel modern and graphic. Since this strand is offered in Natural Color, small tone shifts, inclusions, or cloudy areas should be expected and can make the finished jewelry feel more individual.
