Please note that bead size and quantity per strand may vary slightly due to the natural material and handmade measuring process.
Round Howlite beads are easy to design with because they create a smooth rhythm in bracelets, necklaces, and simple strand work. This scale gives makers room to adjust the design from delicate to more substantial without changing the stone family. The polished finish keeps the beads smooth and easy to combine with other jewelry components.
Howlite gives makers a clear material story without requiring a long explanation, which is helpful for customer-facing handmade jewelry. The Natural Color finish leaves room for natural differences between beads, which is often exactly what makes a handmade piece feel thoughtful.
