Natural Ethiopian Opal Beads String 26.8ct 40cm Drilled Beads

A full 40cm strand of natural Ethiopian opal drilled beads, ready for necklace or bracelet making. The small rondelle-shaped beads are semi-transparent white to cream in body color, each one displaying its own subtle play-of-color in blues, greens, and warm oranges that shimmer as the strand moves. No two beads are identical, giving a finished piece a natural organic rhythm rather than a uniform look.

From the Welo region of Ethiopia, completely natural and untreated. The 3-4mm bead size works well for delicate layering necklaces or stacking bracelets, and the pre-drilled and strung format means no extra prep is needed before working with them. A complete 40cm strand totaling approximately 26.8ct of genuine Ethiopian opal.
