Carved Skull Lanyard Bead - Blue Opal Eye

A skull bead is nothing new. One carved edge to edge in baroque filigree, with blue opal eyes and a skeleton hand hidden on the back — that's a different conversation. Lost-wax cast from a 3D-printed wax master, hand mirror-polished, and heavy enough at 24 g to feel like something on your lanyard.

FEATURES

• Carved everywhere, not just the front — Baroque scrollwork covers the whole skull: cranium, cheekbones, jaw. No blank surfaces.
• Blue opal eyes — Hand-set cabochons that throw blue-green flash every time the bead turns on your lanyard.
• The back is the point — Flip it over: a skeletal hand grips the skull from behind. It's the detail people find on the second look, and the one they ask about.
• Lost-wax cast, hand polished — 3D-printed wax master → casting → hand mirror polish. Crisp engraving, no cast-grain roughness.
• 0.22" (5.5 mm) hole — Runs on 550 paracord, knife lanyards, and most bead cords.
• Real heft — ~0.85 oz (24 g). Sits heavy on a knife pivot, feels like coin weight in pocket.
