These striking faceted teardrops showcase the unmistakable character of Denim Opal, also known as Owyhee Opal, prized for its layered bands of soft sky blue, slate, creamy white, and deep earthy brown. Each bead displays natural horizontal striping and cloud-like transitions that feel almost geological in their rhythm—like a desert horizon captured in stone. The faceting adds gentle sparkle without overpowering the opal’s matte-leaning, organic depth, making each teardrop visually rich yet grounded.
Denim Opal (Owyhee Opal) is sourced from the Owyhee region of the American West and is celebrated for its durability, bold banding, and distinctly modern color palette. These 13x9mm faceted teardrops are ideal as focal accents, statement earrings, or spaced drops in high-end necklaces where contrast and natural pattern take center stage. Their sculptural shape and earthy elegance pair beautifully with silver, oxidized metals, leather, and other natural gemstones, making them a versatile and highly collectible choice for designers drawn to stone with a sense of place and story.
