Boulder Opal Doublet

Boulder Opal Doublets can be set in a variety of ways, from earrings and necklaces to bracelets and rings.  Doublets are created for a number of different opals and they Boulder Opals have become an increasingly popular option as a doublet.


In the world of opals, doublets are known for brighter, more vibrant colors as well as a more affordable price.  Doublets are created by taking a thin section of an opal and layering it on a black background.  In some cases, ironstone is used as the backing for a doublet.  Boulder Opals are created naturally with an ironstone back and some doublets use ironstone to maintain a more natural look.  Boulder Opal Doublets that use a black background display their colors more vibrantly, however.
