The stones on this stunning Ethiopian opal bracelet have been cut and polished to a very fine finish. These beads are a mixture of all the different types of natural opal found in Ethiopia. They have been precisely drilled, and then thread on to jewellery wire, making them more secure than the conventional nylon line used, which can be is easily broken under stress. Opal is best viewed 'moving' or ‘rolled’ in bright sunlight, or bright artificial light. The light/torch on a phone is very good, and can reveal colour that you never thought was there without a substantially brighter light source. (opal needs lots of light to diffract). One distinguishing feature is that most Ethiopian opals are ‘hydrophane’ meaning their porous surfaces absorb water like a sponge, shifting their appearance, size, and stability when submerged. 🚨Do NOT get your opal wet.

No enhancement or filters were used or added, just good angles and close ups (macro) with a mini tripod and a remote.
