Opal Mini Bead & Baroque Pearl Necklace
We love opal beads for their incredible color play and rich luminescence, but they do require a little more care than many other types of beads. This strand is made of lab-grown opal, synthetic but chemically the same as their natural inspiration; meaning they are far less susceptible to damage, so you can wear this necklace everyday without worry as to the effects of water, heat or extreme cold.
We mixed the opals with a section of baroque pearls, shimmering with delicate iridescence, the whole hand-knotted on green silk to emphasize the color and finished with a secure 14k spring ring clasp.
Details: The opals measure approximately 2 mm, the pearls about 6 mm by 4 mm, with a 15 1/4" necklace length.
Care note: The opals will not fade or discolor with normal wear, or exposure to water, lotion or perspiration. They'll take a lot of abuse in stride, just don't hit them with a hammer.
