Ethiopian Opal Round Bead Strand – 3.8-4mm | 40cm

Bring the captivating beauty of genuine opal to your jewellery designs with this Ethiopian Opal Round Bead Strand. Featuring genuine natural Ethiopian Opal gemstones polished into a classic round shape, each bead measures approximately 3.8-4mm in diameter and is strung on a 40cm strand. These elegant beads are perfect for creating refined necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and bespoke jewellery pieces.

Each bead has a soft milky white to translucent appearance, giving the strand a delicate and elegant look. While the product photo may resemble Opalite, this strand is made from genuine natural Ethiopian Opal. Capturing the gemstone’s famous play-of-colour in a photograph is challenging, as the iridescent flashes depend on the angle of the light and the viewing position.

When viewed under the right lighting conditions, many beads reveal beautiful flashes of blue, green, and fiery orange, creating the mesmerising iridescence that makes Ethiopian Opal one of the world’s most admired gemstones. Every strand displays its own unique combination of colours, ensuring no two are exactly alike.

The versatile 3.9-4mm size and polished round shape make these beads ideal for delicate jewellery designs and pair beautifully with sterling silver, yellow gold, rose gold, freshwater pearls, and a variety of other natural gemstones.
