About the Ethereal Opal Collection:

A kaleidescope of color beams off the surface, like fireworks across a night sky. Some of the most prized opals can flash every color of the rainbow; however in this collection we will dive into shades such as Pacific green, sky blue, vivid violet, and pearly white. AB coatings, luster finishes, reflective crystals, and metallic gold meld with these color tones, incorporating a fiery brilliance.

Ethereal Opal Finished Pieces:

Be on the lookout for four tutorials in the coming weeks, which incorporate materials exclusively from the Ethereal Opal Collection! Here is a peak at the new projects to come:

Ethereal Opal Bracelet

In this tutorial, I will show you how to incorporate a 10x14mm Krakovski crystal stone as the centerpiece, and focal of this beaded bracelet. The stone is bezeled with 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads, 8/0 Toho Demi Rounds, 2x3mm crystal rondelles, Ginko beads, and 6mm Preciosa crystal bicones.

The completed look is ethereal and fluid, like waves, or drops of water, don’t you think?!

Ethereal Opal Pendant Necklace #2

In this tutorial, I will show you a second way to bezel the glimmering faux opal oval stone. We will use the white AB pinch beads to set off the shape, as well as mini Superduo beads, 6mm Fire Polished rounds, and, 11/0 round seed beads. This finished pendant is slightly smaller than pendant #1, shown above.

This pendant is strung onto a beaded necklace, which uses coordinating beads.

Ethereal Opal Earrings

In this tutorial, I will show you how to create a gorgeous green pair of earrings. The center stones are encased by CzechMates two-hole Honeycomb Beads, 4mm Krakovski Pearls, 11/0 round seed beads, and 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads.

The ear wire findings used to complete the beadwork are included in the collection, as well.
