Australian Opal Doublets: Nature's Artistry, Expertly Crafted
As a breathtaking alternative to solid opals, Australian opal doublets showcase the mesmerizing fusion of nature's beauty and expert workmanship. These one-of-a-kind jewels are a stunning and affordable alternative to real opal, thanks to the combination of the two materials' respective durability and adaptability. Cove Jewellery is pleased to provide stunning jewellery that pays homage to the
enchantment of Australian opal doublets, a gemstone known for its extraordinary beauty and rarity.
The Heart of the Stone: Opals from Renowned Australian Fields
Different localities of Australia, such as Lightning Ridge and Coober Pedy, create opals with bright hues and unusual patterns that are world-renowned. The black opal from Lightning Ridge stands out with its dark body tone, creating a striking contrast with the vibrant hues that sparkle and flash on its surface. Information from
the government of New South Wales notes that Lightning Ridge is the world's major producer of this sought-after black opal.
Why Choose Our Opal Doublets? The Benefits
For jewellery lovers, opal doublets are a popular option due to their many desirable qualities, such as:
- Reasonable Price: Opal doublets are a more economical alternative to natural solid opals. This affordability gives gem enthusiasts the chance to acquire a magical opal without breaking the bank.
- Durability: The backing material further safeguards the fragile opal layer. As such, the durability of doublets rises, making them more suitable for pieces like everyday rings.
- Flexible Abilities: Opal doublets may be set in a variety of jewellery designs thanks to the versatility of backing materials, which opens up a world of colour and style options.
- Lightweight: Opal doublets are a great choice for earrings, pendants, and other jewellery items since they are often lighter than natural solid opals.
The Art of Creation: The Opal Doublet Production Process
In essence, an opal doublet is a composite gem that has been skilfully made from two separate layers. According to Geoscience Australia, a doublet consists of a thin slice of precious opal bonded to a stronger backing material. This top layer's play-of-colour—a mesmerizing display of spectral colours that dance over the stone's surface—is highly prized. Careful bonding of this thin opal layer to a supporting material further preserves and accentuates the opal's inherent brilliance.
Popular backing materials for doublets include black onyx, obsidian, ironstone, and common opal (potch), all of which provide their own distinct colour and personality to the final product.
