13x9mm Banded Denim Opal Faceted Teardrops 8 inch 17 beads
Description
These striking Banded Denim Opal teardrops—also known as Owyhee Opal—feature soft, clouded blues layered with creamy whites and subtle earth-toned banding, all brought to life with a crisp faceted finish. Mined in the Owyhee region of the Pacific Northwest, this material is prized for its denim-like color palette and natural striations that give each stone a calm, atmospheric presence. The faceting adds gentle sparkle without overpowering the stone’s naturally muted elegance, making each bead feel refined yet organic.
Perfect as statement drops for earrings or focal elements in necklaces, these Owyhee Opal teardrops pair beautifully with silver, oxidized metals, and other cool-toned gemstones like moonstone, labradorite, or quartz. Their balanced size and graceful shape make them versatile for both modern and earthy designs, while the natural banding ensures every piece is one of a kind. A standout choice for designers drawn to subtle color, natural patterning, and the quiet beauty of American-sourced opal.
