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

Three opal doublet stones, each bezel-set in sterling silver and linked into a 20cm bracelet that sits comfortably at the wrist. The green broadflash pattern means the colour doesn't flicker in small points — it sweeps across the face of each stone in wide sheets, shifting as the bracelet moves. Against a dark backing, that green reads vivid in almost any light. As a trio the effect compounds: three panels of colour, side by side, each catching the light at a slightly different angle as the bracelet sits on your wrist.

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.
