These striking Denim Opal faceted oval beads showcase the unmistakable blue-and-cream banding that has made this material a favorite among designers. Also known as Owyhee Opal, this gemstone is mined in the Owyhee region of the Pacific Northwest and prized for its soft sky-blue tones, inky denim blues, warm taupes, and natural cream contrasts. The large oval shape paired with crisp faceting brings out depth and movement within the stone, allowing the layered banding to shift subtly as the beads catch the light.
At about 19x14mm to 23x17mm, these Denim Opal ovals are ideal as statement components—perfect for bold necklaces, focal bracelets, or eye-catching earrings. Their organic color palette pairs beautifully with silver, oxidized metals, leather, and neutral gemstones, making them especially versatile for modern, rustic, or Southwestern-inspired designs. Each strand offers natural variation in pattern and tone, ensuring every finished piece feels one-of-a-kind while retaining the cohesive, earthy elegance Denim (Owyhee) Opal is known for.
