Hi Rochelle, sorry the per bead pricing caught you off guard. We’ve since made it more prominent on the listing so it’s more clear before checkout.
Every order is covered by a free 30 day return. Reach out to us at support@theopaldealer.com and we’ll send a prepaid label and refund you in full.
On the price: these are synthetic opal, which takes months to grow under controlled conditions before it’s cut and drilled, so it’s sold per bead rather than by the strand.
This is the first time I’ve used laboratory opal and it is fantastic. If you have an experienced date, give these guys a call. They’re wonderful.
Awesome Opal beads! Really firey 🔥
Due to it not being inexpensive I am waiting for the right pieces to use them in. Very excited to see how they turn out!
Not single person I interact with doesn't know about this stone or how I got it. Phenomenol product
These bicone beads are gorgeous! I haven’t made a bracelet with them yet so I can’t add a picture. I plan on adding an 8mm Turquoise opal between them as I did before with the Cotton Candy bicone and 8mm opal. I will never shop anywhere else for opals🩵
good communication and the beads are so beads are so beautiful! Please let me know if you ever do make larger millimeter rondele beads! A few were not quite 3mm full drill holes, but I can find a use maybe with a different project. They are so much more lovely in person, as are all the other colors. Well worth the price. I will add a picture soon.
I have purchased your products on occasion, and have never had a bad order. I have inlaid 5 of my guitars with your opals of different sizes, and I have been complimented on their beauty, far beyond my artistic ability. Thanks, Opal Dealer!
This particular color of synthetic opal from the opal dealer is my absolute favorite. It is gorgeous. It looks beautiful with cream colored beads, such as pearls. I love working with it.
Love the rings I've bought. Very smooth to the touch. Channels are deep and big enough to fit enough opal product.
