What is a Rondelle?

A rondelle is a slim bead shape that can be described as a "donut" like shape. Rondelles are also often referred to as spacer beads or knot covers. Rondelles are a great option for any jewelry or craft projects. Try incorporating Rondelles in your jewelry designs as a focal point or to compliment other beads within your design. Most commonly, Rondelles are used to conceal the finishing knot for handmade bracelets and other jewelry creations. The 3mm hole make these beads a perfect fit over most knots.

What is Lab Created Opal?

Lab Opal is a synthetic lab-made material that consists of Silica and Polymer rather than hydrated silica (natural opal). The polymer stabilizes our opal which in turn makes it easier for jewelry making. You will experience less cracking and crazing that can be detrimental when using natural opal in jewelry. By using a polymer it also creates a slightly softer product making it superior for turning and cabbing. Our opal does not fall victim to color fading and is resistant to chemicals such as acetone and alcohol. 

Our Lab Created Opal takes around one year to grow in a controlled environment. This is a complex process of layering to create the unique color patterns. This complex process is used to then create a rough cut of synthetic opal that is then made into beads. The beads are drilled and perfected into the many different sizes we offer. Due to the layering of vibrant bursts of color this makes each bead unique with its own blend of colors and patterns. 

Please keep in mind that the material can only withstand heat up to a rough estimate of 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Please proceed at your own risk.
