Please note that bead size and quantity per strand may vary slightly due to the natural material and handmade measuring process.
Round Opal beads are easy to design with because they create a smooth rhythm in bracelets, necklaces, and simple strand work. The strand is easy to work into everyday jewelry layouts, from simple stretch bracelets to mixed-gemstone designs. Faceting gives the strand a brighter surface, which can make simple jewelry feel more polished.
Opal works well for designers who want a recognizable natural material and enough visual character to make a simple layout feel considered. Natural Color material is useful when the design should keep the stone's original character rather than a perfectly matched, factory-even look.
