Boulder Opal Ring – 18K Yellow Gold, Diamond Shoulders, Quilpie

An Australian Boulder Opal ring in 18K yellow gold, with small diamonds set into each shoulder either side of the stone. The diamonds frame the opal cleanly without competing with its colour play — a classic pairing that lifts the piece into heirloom territory.

The boulder opal is sourced from South-West Queensland, where the best boulder material has been mined for over a century. The yellow gold band is finished for everyday wear.

About Boulder Opal

Boulder opal is found only in Western Queensland, Australia, where seams of precious opal form within ironstone boulders. Unlike other opal varieties, boulder opal is always cut with its natural ironstone backing — every stone is a slice of that host rock, giving each piece a one-of-a-kind silhouette and a dark backdrop that intensifies the colour play. Queensland's boulder opal is known for vivid greens, blues and oranges, and is second only to Lightning Ridge black opal in value.
