Please note that bead size and quantity per strand may vary slightly due to the natural material and handmade measuring process.
Use faceted beads when a design needs brightness, movement, and a cleaner finished surface. This is a practical middle range for everyday bracelets, simple necklaces, and repeatable small-batch designs. Faceting gives the strand a brighter surface, which can make simple jewelry feel more polished.
Obsidian is useful when a piece needs a dark foundation or a polished black note without the sparkle of faceted crystal. A Natural Color strand is a good choice when the design needs organic variation instead of a very saturated or uniform color.
