Ethiopian Opal Teardrop Beads – Natural Fire Opal Strand, 4 Inch Makers Pack

Ethiopian White Opal teardrop beads in a 4-inch makers pack — the kind of material you reach for when a design needs movement and depth. The elongated teardrop silhouette creates beautiful rhythm in cascading earrings and fringe-style necklaces, while the natural opal fire does the visual work.

Available in both smooth and faceted finishes. The faceted cut breaks up the play-of-color into sharp directional flashes; smooth rounds it into a softer glow. Both are stunning depending on your aesthetic.

What's included:
• Natural Ethiopian Welo White Opal — no heat, no dye
• Teardrop shape, side drill
• Smooth or faceted finish (select in dropdown)
• 4-inch strand — approx 3.5×4.5mm up to 5.5×10mm depending on strand
• Priced per individual strand
• Sizes shown in variation listing

These work particularly well for ear wire drops without any additional components — just wire and these beads. The side drill placement means minimal metalwork required for a clean, professional-looking earring.
