Please note that bead size and quantity per strand may vary slightly due to the natural material and handmade measuring process.
The geometric shape gives these Opal beads a more structured look than standard rounds. This scale gives makers room to adjust the design from delicate to more substantial without changing the stone family. The cut surface is useful when the design needs a little sparkle but still should read as natural gemstone.
Because natural gemstone beads vary slightly, this Opal strand can add small differences in tone, texture, or depth across a finished piece. This strand can be used on its own or mixed with other natural gemstone beads when the design needs more depth.
