Why This Stone Stands Apart

Crystal opal is distinguished by its transparent body — light passes entirely through the stone, creating a three-dimensional depth of colour that appears to glow from within rather than simply reflect from the surface. At 2.45 carats, this is a substantial stone with impressive presence. The colour palette — warm golden greens transitioning through pinky orange into cool light blue — represents a rare and harmonious spectral range that is as wearable as it is collectible.

A Stone That Makes Masterpieces

Whether set as the centrepiece of a bespoke engagement ring, a statement pendant, or a collector's brooch, this opal will define the piece around it. Its transparent body means it responds to every light source differently — glowing warmly under candlelight, blazing brilliantly in sunlight, and shimmering softly under artificial light. No photograph can fully capture what this stone does in person.

Care Instructions

Opal contains water and should be protected from extreme heat, prolonged dryness, and sudden temperature changes. Store in a padded box. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam, and harsh chemicals.
