Today, Unicorne Beads has reached a huge milestone! We are thrilled to share a never before seen addition to our bead collections. Our new Opal Beads are polished, colorful, customizable, and a beautiful addition to your jewelry projects. Join us as we explore our 12 new styles and discover how you can use them in your everyday life!
Why Opal Beads?
In case you didn’t know, opal beads are very small! They may look like our typical Round Glass Beads, but their uses are quite different. Opal beads are typically used in earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and more as a finishing touch rather than a recurring design element.
Opal beads are popular because they bring color and shimmer without overpowering a design. Their luminous finish makes them useful as accent beads, spacer beads, small focal details, or color highlights between larger handmade glass beads and focal pieces.
The texture and detail of each of our Opal Beads provide a sense of direction and finality to your jewelry piece. Their size and shine are perfect for adding a touch of pizazz to your focal bead. These beads are beautifully designed for those who love color, shine, and detail. Our new opal beads are ready to become the highlight of your next creation.
12 Styles, 24 Beads
This collection features a wide range of opal bead colors, from soft pinks and icy whites to ocean blues, glowing greens, warm yellows, and deeper accent shades. Whether you are creating delicate everyday jewelry or colorful statement pieces, opal beads add depth, glow, and a refined finishing touch to your designs.
Each style is available in two different sizes: 4mm & 6mm. If that’s not enough, each style comes with TWO beads and in Unicorne Beads exclusive packaging. Your lab opal beads will arrive safely and soundly in a premium foam cushion. Now, it’s time to explore our 12 stunning opal bead colors!

How To Use Opal Beads
If you have become acquainted with our DIY Jewelry Kits, then our lab opal beads might already be a familiar face for you. These have been included in our Seashell & Opal Necklaces AND our Opal Ear Wire Earrings. These two kits give a great example on how you can use our kits.
When taking a look at the Opal Ear Wire Earrings, you can see the simplicity that comes along with it. If you are a beginner at jewelry making, definitely use this piece as inspiration for what our opal beads can do!
Our Seashell & Opal Necklaces are a great example on how to make your focal beads shine that much more. They add that extra “oomph” to any larger glass bead designs. We recommend checking out our focal beads to find ways to mix and match your opal beads!
