Soft Spring Opals

A winner has been selected in this month’s bead giveaway draw. Congratulations to Sandy, and thank you very much to everyone who entered. This time around, I asked what your favorite transparent bead colors were. Transparent blue and purple were definitely in the majority! Whether it's intense cobalt or rich amethyst, these two hues are gorgeous when they're clear and full of light. Sandy says that she loves the blues and purples of opals - a perfect combination for spring designs.

Soft Spring Opal Collection


Soft blues and lavender mixed with dreamy iridescence have a wonderfully soothing effect. Add a dash of lemon or lime and you’re ready for a day in the park!
