Beautiful iridescent colour, captivating shimmer and a perfectly polished finish.
Add a gorgeous splash of colour to your piercing with these stunning synthetic opal captive beads. Featuring a smooth, polished cabochon finish, each bead displays a beautiful play of colour, catching the light with flashes of iridescent brilliance.
Available in two striking shades, Sky Blue Opal and Capri Blue Opal, these interchangeable beads offer a colourful alternative to traditional metal balls or faceted gemstones.
Designed to clip securely into a compatible captive bead ring, they're perfect for adding a touch of shimmering colour to your daith, septum, conch, helix or lobe piercing.
Unlike natural opals, synthetic opals are manufactured to achieve a consistent, vibrant appearance, making them a beautiful choice for everyday jewellery styling.
Choosing the Correct Size
Captive beads are designed to fit specific ring gauges and diameters. Small indentations on either side of the bead accommodate the ring ends, helping hold it securely in place.
- 4mm bead: Suitable for 10–12mm diameter rings.
- Ring gauge: Choose the correct size for your 16g (1.2mm) or 14g (1.6mm) ring.
Important: A 14g bead may fit into a 16g ring, but the larger indentations can allow it to rotate. For the most secure fit, always match the bead gauge and ring diameter.
Sold individually. Captive bead ring not included.
