These 11x8mm Denim Opal Faceted Teardrops showcase the unmistakable banded palette that has made this material so sought after—soft sky blues, milky whites, and earthy cocoa-brown layers flowing through each stone like a painted horizon. Often referred to as Owyhee Opal, this American opal is prized for its calm, denim-washed tones and naturally graphic banding. The faceting adds a gentle shimmer without overpowering the stone’s organic character, while the teardrop shape highlights the linear striping and gives each bead a clean, sculptural presence.
Perfectly sized for earrings, pendants, or repeating focal elements, these Denim Opal teardrops offer a refined balance of visual interest and versatility. They pair beautifully with sterling silver, oxidized metals, leather, and natural materials, and work just as well in minimalist designs as they do in bold, statement pieces. Expect natural variation in banding and color distribution—each strand is a unique expression of this distinctive Owyhee material, ideal for makers who value stones with character and depth.
