Opal Doublets

Australian Opal Doublets

Opal doublets offer the vivid beauty of black opal at a fraction of the cost, making the magic of this rare gemstone more accessible to all. These doublets are crafted by bonding a thin layer of natural crystal opal to a dark backing using Epoxy 330 tinted with black iron oxide powder. The backing itself is made from either natural black opal potch or black gem-grade glass—both chosen for their durability and ability to enhance contrast and depth.

The result is a radiant, high-contrast stone that closely resembles the color and vibrance of true black opal. Like any other opal, each doublet is entirely unique—miniature works of art shaped by the Earth and finished by hand. While genuine black opal remains among the world’s rarest and most valuable gems, doublets provide a way for anyone, regardless of financial background, to experience and wear the opal’s unmistakable beauty. They are more than just gemstones—they are nature’s paintings, each one one-of-a-kind.
