Opal Bracelet

Opal beads that shift through the spectrum as they move — every angle reveals a different flash of color. Hand-strung with gold-filled wire and a polished gold-filled clasp. October's birthstone, and the most optically dramatic stone in the collection.

The Stone
Opal is formed from silica and water — ancient rainwater that seeped into cracks in rock, evaporated, and left behind its silica in delicate three-dimensional arrays that diffract light into its full spectrum. The Romans called it the most precious of all stones because it held the color of every other gem. Associated with creativity, emotion, and cosmic consciousness, opal is a stone that resists easy categorization — much like the best ideas.
