What does Opal mean here?

Opal describes the milky appearance of the glass. These are glass jewelry-making components, not amethyst or opal gemstones.

Czech glassmaking heritage

Made in Northern Bohemia in the Czech Republic, these beads continue a glassmaking tradition dating back to the 14th century. Glass is pressed in a mold, precisely faceted by machine and polished in direct fire. The result is brilliant glass with softer, slightly rounded facets, offering a cost-effective, scratch-resistant alternative to sharply cut crystal components.

Small-batch production can cause slight variations in bead size and shape. Glass shades vary between production lots, and larger beads may appear darker because they contain more glass. Photographs are for reference; monitor settings and browsers affect displayed colors.
