What’s opal beads?

Bello Opal® opal beads/spheres (Polymer Impregnated Synthetic Opal) are increasingly popular in jewelry design, especially in the body piercing market. One of the main features of these opal beads, also known as iridescent opal, is their ease of rotation and their captivating "play of color." Bello Opal® is lab grown synthetic opal (Lab-created opal). It is essential to have two types of fire pattern which are dot pattern (A) and stripe pattern (B). This is one of the ways to verify the lab grown opal bead. Bello Opal® opal beads are available from size 1.2mm to 18mm and they are available with different kinds of drilling, such as no drill, half drill, full drill or half drills on two sides for captive ring.

The Uniqueness of Iridescent Opal

Iridescent opal is a gemstone renowned for its captivating play of colors, which appear to dance across its surface. This unique phenomenon, known as "play-of-color" or “iridescence” results from the diffraction of light passing through the microscopic silica spheres within the stone. When you swirl or rotate the iridescent opal , it reveals a shimmering light and exhibits a magical brilliance and gorgeous color, with attractive opal fire reflections that seem to flicker and glow. Each Iridescent opal is distinct, displaying a spectrum of vibrant hues that shift and change with the angle of light. This mesmerizing beauty, coupled with the mystique of its formation, contributes to the opal's reputation as one of the most enchanting and unique gemstones in the world.
