Black Opal Jewelry that Sparkles

Don't let the name fool you. Black opals are anything but merely black. Australian black opal is found primarily in Lightning Ridge, a town in New South Wales. It is considered the most valuable form of opal because the black backdrop of these opals allows the colors contained within to shine more brightly than they do in other types of opal. Black opal jewelry can contain virtually every color of the spectrum set against a backdrop that is dark gray to bluish black in color. The value of a black opal, like any other opal, is determined by six factors: the fire color (the colors that shine out of the exterior of the opal), pattern, brightness, directionality, base color, and size.

Expertly Cut Black Opals Unlike any Other


At Opal by Anderson Beattie, our black opal is expertly cut by master stone cutter Sir Rodney Beattie to ensure maximum value and beauty. Every black opal stone we carry is hand-selected and perfectly crafted to become a piece of jewelry that will last for generations. Black opals can vary widely in color and pattern, and no two black opals are alike. That's why we think it's so important that when you purchase a piece of opal jewelry, you have the ability to choose precisely the Australian black opal that you want. This gives you the freedom to choose an opal with the pattern, color, and shine that calls out to you. Perhaps you'll find a jet black opal with streaks of green and gold. Or maybe you'll discover a softer opal predominated by clouds of blue. Whichever black opal gemstone you choose, you can be sure that there are no other opals in the world exactly like yours. That's what makes opal, and black opals in particular, so special. Find the black opal stone that's perfect for you, then choose a necklace, pendant, bracelet, or ring to set it in. We guarantee that you will be thrilled with your choice.
