This chaplet is fully wire wrapped with fumed red brass for an antique look.

Brilliant sky blue color is shot through the brown matrix of these petite rectangle beads.

I would call the Peruvian opals used in this chaplet a B- or commercial grade, as there is some surface pitting and more matrix than would be found in A grade beads. Still, there's an artistic earthiness about these stones that's quite nice. A grade beads would price this well over $100.
