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

Three opal doublets set in a row along a sterling silver bracelet, each stone carrying a dominant flash of green with blue shifting behind it. At 20cm the bracelet sits with a comfortable ease on the wrist — not tight, not loose — and the three stones catch light at slightly different angles as you move, so the colour play shifts across the trio rather than firing as one. The bezel setting wraps each stone cleanly and keeps the profile low and wearable for everyday wear. A piece that earns its place by being the one you reach for first.

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.
