Opal Doublet Bracelet – Sterling Silver, 3 Stones, Green Broadflash, 20cm

Three opal doublet stones sit across the band, each one bezel-set in sterling silver and cut to show the same dominant green — so when you turn your wrist, broadflash fires across all three at once rather than flickering stone by stone. Broadflash moves as a single sheet: green ignites first, then shifts at the edges into cooler blues depending on the light angle. Strong brightness means the colour reads clearly in daylight, artificial light, and candlelight alike. At 20cm, the bracelet sits comfortably on a standard wrist with the three stones spaced evenly across the top of the band — close enough to read as one continuous run of colour.

About Opal Doublet

An opal doublet is a thin slice of natural Australian opal cemented to a dark backing — usually ironstone or black potch (the common opal that doesn't carry colour play). Doublets are a legitimate technique used in the opal trade for over a century: solid opal thick enough to cut as a whole stone is rare, so using the precious opal layer efficiently means more people can own genuine Australian opal at a sensible price. The opal itself is the same material you'd find in a solid stone — just used more efficiently — and the dark backing intensifies the colour play above it.

Caring for Your Opal

Opal is softer than diamond or sapphire, and doublets need extra care around water — prolonged exposure can degrade the bond between the opal layer and its backing. See Opal Care for the full routine including doublet-specific notes.
