100% natural pink opal beads!

Pink opal is admired for its soft, rosy hues and gentle translucence. This gemstone, often found in shades ranging from pale blush to vibrant rose, gets its color from trace amounts of iron and other impurities within its silica structure. Pink opal is typically opaque to translucent and lacks the play-of-color seen in precious opals. It is a popular choice for cabochons, beads, and decorative objects, adding a touch of feminine charm and delicate beauty to any collection.

Recommendations

For beads 4mm and smaller, it is recommended to start with stringing wires no larger than .013inch / .33mm. This will ensure a proper fit and in most cases allow for feeding of the wire tip back through the beads for a clean finish.

Elastic cords can be used with beads 4mm and larger, but it will not fit through most beads smaller than 4mm. It's recommended to use 0.5mm elastic cord.

These recommendations are intended to help guide you for a successful project. With time and experience you'll discover what works best for your designs.
