The Green Opal Beaded Candy Necklace is a fresh, sea-glass green strand made for everyday color. Heishi-cut green opal beads are hand-knotted on silk we custom dye aqua in our Key West studio, then finished with hand-coiled French wire and an ethically sourced 14K gold-filled lobster clasp.
At 17.75 inches, it sits right at the collarbone. It's one of a kind, so the strand pictured is exactly the one you'll receive.
What Are Heishi Beads?
Heishi beads are thin, flat, disc-shaped beads. Strung together, they create a smooth, almost continuous line of color with a modern, textured look. Cut from green opal, they give this candy necklace a soft, luminous finish that feels coastal and calm.
Green Opal and Aqua Silk
Green opal's soft, milky green tones look like sea glass, and each bead varies slightly in shade and opacity. The aqua silk peeks between the knots, so the whole gemstone bead necklace reads like shallow water over sand.
