About This Opal

This solid Australian opal from Coober Pedy is a crystal opal with a soft, jelly-like appearance and a light grey to white translucent base. The opal displays gentle, floating flashes of yellow, green, purple, orange, and pink that move softly across the surface as it is tilted, creating a dreamy, nebula-like colour play rather than sharp directional flashes. Its rounded oval shape and softly medium dome give the stone a smooth, glowing look, while the thickness of the material allows the colour to feel layered and dimensional throughout the opal. The overall presentation is calm, pastel, and ethereal, making it a beautiful centre stone for refined, one-of-a-kind opal jewellery pieces.

Setting Recommendations

All setting styles are suitable for this opal due to its balanced oval shape and good thickness. It would work beautifully in both ring and pendant designs, and the orientation can be set either vertically or horizontally depending on your preference. Bezel and prong settings are both excellent options, with bezel offering additional protection while maintaining a soft, modern finish. The pastel colour palette pairs well with all metal colours, including yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and silver.

This listing is for the loose opal. If you'd love to wear it, we can make it into a custom ring or pendant for you in sterling silver, or 9ct, 14ct or 18ct gold. Please send us a message to chat.
