Opal Doublets

Need a gorgeous opal for a custom job but have a tight budget? Look no further than our collection of opal doublets! These stunning pieces offer a fantastic opportunity to incorporate the mesmerizing beauty of fine opal into your designs at a more affordable price point.

Opal doublets are fairly straightforward in their construction. Essentially, an opal doublet consists of a thin layer of natural Australian opal that is cemented to a sturdy backing material, often made from ironstone matrix. Ironstone serves as the host material for opal. This backing material not only contributes to the durability of the doublet but also helps to intensify its colors and patterns. The combination of the vibrant opal layer and the contrasting back creates a striking visual effect, allowing the colors to pop.
