Faceted Gemstone Beads
A facet is a flat plane cut into the surface of a bead. Each facet in
a bead reflects light. A purpose for faceting is to create sparkle. The larger the number of facets on a bead, the more it sparkles. Facets can be large or small. Many small facets will sparkle more than a few large facets. Facets with unusual shapes can also create interesting designs on a bead. The surfaces of these black onyx beads are frosted. Facets cut through the surface reveal the area below. The effect looks like polka dots. |
The designs and sparkle are difficult to capture in jewelry photos. Watch this video showing faceted beads in handmade gemstone jewelry. |
