A marquise-shaped lab-created black opal solitaire in a tulip prong setting — handcrafted in Jaipur from solid 925 sterling silver or gold alloy. Black opal is defined by its dark body tone (N1–N4 on the GIA body tone scale) and its play-of-colour — the same diffraction-through-silica-nanosphere phenomenon present in all precious opal, but made dramatically more vivid by the dark background. Where white opal’s play-of-colour reads against a pale, low-contrast base, black opal’s dark body tone provides high contrast against which colour flashes — red, orange, green, blue — appear more saturated and more intense. This is why natural black opal (most famously from Lightning Ridge, Australia) commands some of the highest prices in gemology. Lab-created black opal reproduces the dark body tone and the silica nanosphere structure that produces play-of-colour exactly, in a controlled environment.

Opal is typically cut as a cabochon — a smooth, domed shape — because play-of-colour is a near-surface optical phenomenon rather than a light-refraction effect through the stone’s depth. The marquise shape here refers to a marquise-outline cabochon: an elongated, pointed oval dome that gives the ring its distinctive elongated profile on the finger. The tulip setting is a prong style in which the prongs flare outward at their base like tulip petals, creating a decorative head beneath the stone that frames and elevates it above the band.

Care Instructions — Opal

Opal (Mohs 5.5–6.5) requires careful handling. It contains water in its structure and can crack in very dry conditions or with sudden temperature changes (crazing) — avoid prolonged heat, direct sunlight, and dehumidified storage. Do not use ultrasonic or steam cleaners. Remove before swimming, showering, or applying perfume and lotions. Store in a lightly padded box away from harder stones. Wipe gently with a soft damp cloth; dry thoroughly before storing.
