Black OpalThe black opals you’ll find on this website are perfect for making that extra special opal ring, opal pendant, black opal earrings, and even as part of a bracelet with mounted opals. Since black opals come in unique shapes and sizes there’s no way to exactly custom design your opal jewelry until you find the perfect opal. Finding the right opal to use in your jewelry is really a love affair… Love at first sight in fact. Because black opals can be found in a wide variety of patterns and colors, you might search a long time before you find the perfect opal gemstone, and you will know it as soon as you see it.

The strong and stable quality of these opals are perfect if you are looking to make a ring, pendant, or any other jewelry with one of these opals. The flash of color in these opals is often large and bright, and no two are ever alike.
