This page shows an exciting assortment of jewelry that incorporates OPAL, an October birthstone (along with tourmaline)! This is a lovely iridescent gemstone with internal colors that can glimmer like fire through a translucent stone. Opals can be near white to blue, black and orange. Doublets and triplets are thin opal slices bonded to a matrix and sometimes covered with quartz, which helps in the durability of this softer stone. No other enhancements are common.
We have selections from a few of our artists shown below. To see more work by any artist represented, you may click on the Item Title, then click where indicated to get the full artist page!

Charles Albert 2-Piece Boulder Opal Pendant
$132.00
Chs2j.607p72b
When luminous natural opal from Australia has seeped with water into cracks or seams of rock (like ironstone) and is retained with the host rock, it is called BOULDER OPAL. As the surrounding stone is hard, the opal is less fragile than on its own. These pieces are golden brown rocks with large cracks revealing yellow on the top with fiery red and vibrant turquoise opal, on the bottom a luminous white with blue. Set in sterling, pieces are joined by dual jump rings for slight hinged movement, measures 1 inch across, 2-3/4 inches long including large bail.
