15mm Denim Opal Faceted Hearts showcase the unmistakable cool-toned beauty of this American classic, also known as Owyhee Opal. Mined in the Owyhee region of eastern Oregon, this material is prized for its layered bands of misty blue, slate gray, soft white, and inky charcoal—often resembling stormy skies or worn denim fabric. The faceted heart shape adds extra dimension, catching light across the natural banding while preserving the stone’s earthy, grounded character.
These generously sized heart beads make exceptional focal elements for necklaces, statement bracelets, or standout earrings. Denim Opal is valued not for flashy fire, but for its depth, subtle contrast, and unmistakable sense of place—each bead carrying the quiet drama of the high desert landscapes where it’s found. Pair them with silver, oxidized metals, or minimalist designs to let the stone’s natural patterning take center stage.
