Welcome to the Gemstones-Loose Boulder Opal Page.
Customers should be aware, when purchasing opals specifically, that not all opals are the same, as opals consist of solid, doublet, triplet and boulder classes. Thereby offering the enthusiastic opal "collector" both higher end options and some very economical alternatives.
Boulder opals, as presented on this page, are generally a highly polished, non-gemstone material, usually ironstone, with portions, fragments and/or veins of actual solid opal colouring. As can be seen from the examples below, some more vivid than others.
We have many high-quality examples of ready-made jewellery employing the boulder opal as the centrepiece. When you view these items you will find, while some may seem "unusual", this is only because their colours are in many cases not as vibrant as those generally associated with the more commonly recognised solid opals.
Please go to the various pendant, ladies-men's rings, opal bracelets, opal necklaces and opal earrings-studs pages to gain an insight into how these little-known, but highly prized opals, can enhance any gold or silver jewellery setting.
Unlike many similar sites, borsodifinejewellery.com.au aims to represent each piece as true to life as is possible. Consequently, only natural lighting is employed when pieces are photographed for inclusion and display on this site.
