FAQ

What can I make with these? Bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and layered or charm combinations where a classic round shape is wanted. The four sizes work together in one design — a 10mm focal with 4mm spacers, or a graduated necklace running small to large.

Will the beads vary? Expect noticeable natural variation in tone across the strand. The proportion of blue to gold pyrite and grey-white calcite shifts from bead to bead, and some beads carry far more marbling than others.

How do faceted beads differ from smooth rounds? The cut faces catch and throw light where a smooth polished surface reflects it evenly, so faceted gemstone beads read brighter in daylight and hold their sparkle in a finished piece.

What metals pair well with lapis? Gold and brass pick up the pyrite flecking directly, while sterling silver and white gold cool the blue down for a sharper, more modern look.
