FIND YOUR PERFECT AUSTRALIAN OPAL

Australian opals are beautiful, rare and highly prized gemstones that contain all the colours of the rainbow in stunning patterns and shapes. An opal's appearance changes when it is moved around in the light, uncovering unseen beauty and hidden mysteries. Each Australian opal is as unique as a snowflake or human fingerprint, with no two found ever the same. Australian opal is famous the world over for its brilliant, colourful spectrum and broad range of distinctive patterns, with one of its most well-known and loved attribute being its ‘play-of-colour’. This phenomenon occurs when a beautiful movement of colour is seen in an opal as it is turned in the light. This play-of-colour is mostly seen on the top, or face, of the gemstone in spectacular, iridescent patterns which have names like Harlequin, pinfire, rolling flash, flagstone and Chinese writing, among others.

The most popular types of Australian opals set in opal jewelry today would be black opals, white opals, crystal opals and boulder opals. Popular jewellery products featuring Australian opals include opal pendants, opal necklaces, opal earrings, opal bracelets and opal rings. Australian opals are not only shaped into round or oval stones, which feature perfectly in beautiful Australian opal jewellery, but in more recent times freeform shapes or carved opals have become exceptionally popular, both for collection pieces and to be set into captivating fine quality gold and silver opal jewellery. Australian opals are the birthstone of October and well known as the Queen of Gems.
