Ethiopian Opal Rondelle Beads – Faceted Fire Opal Strand for Jewelry Making

Ethiopian White Opal faceted rondelle beads — the classic shape that works in every format. Flat disc profile, straight drill through center, faceted edges that catch and scatter light as you move. At 6 inches, this strand gives you enough material for a full bracelet or a generous section of a necklace design.

Rondelles stack cleanly, space evenly, and pair with virtually any metal component. These are the kind of beads that elevate a project without demanding complicated technique.

• Rondelle / disc shape, straight drill

The play-of-color in these rondelles shows especially well when strung together — the flashes layer and overlap in a way that single beads can't replicate. Works beautifully for mala-style bracelets, stacking bracelet sets, or as accent sections in longer necklace designs.
