In keeping with my ambition to choose jewellery-related words, my first O-word is "open squares". This photo above shows some Czech pressed glass beads that I like very much. They are called "Open Squares". Here are some earrings that I made with some open squares:

I wanted to include the stone "Opal", which is also used in jewellery. But I don't have any jewellery with an opal in it. So I only have three O-words this week, "Open Squares", "Obsidian" and "Onyx".
Best wishes,Anna

I never knew they were called OPEN Squares. It's so OBVIOUS now.

Those open squares are most interesting, sadly I don't see how I could use them with the type of jewellery I make. Love the onyx and obsidian though!
Love the faceted black onyx-- that's definitely my favorite!
Oh those open squares are charming. I love them. Can you show a piece of jewelry made with them.
I am really fascinated by their different style.
Thanks for another lovely post on Alphabe-Thursday's Letter "O"!
You're doing great!

A lovely assortment of "O" beads!
Very pretty beads, the open squares look like old fashioned sweets.

What a nice O post. I am not familiar with this kind of beads and they look so lovely when you put them together in a jewelry creation. It's neat to see how you plan them out. I like the dark obsidian and onyx too.... They just speak vintage to me.
I've seen those squares before but never knew the name. Interesting that onyx has white stripes and are dyed black. I always just thought they were black to begin with. That's all I've ever seen.
