1.13 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

One beautiful translucent 1.13 carat oval shape multi color opal, White Opal, from Australia, offers an elegant balance of size, color, and clarity that immediately speaks to the maker of custom jewelry and to the collector seeking a singular piece. This gem measures 8.98 x 7.00 x 3.98 mm, a proportion that reads as both substantial and versatile, with a smooth cabochon cut that brings out the opal's internal fire without sacrificing durability. The gem is evaluated as eye clean at eye level, with a medium light color intensity and an excellent polish that gives the surface a glass like sheen. There has been no enhancement to this opal, which means the play of color and the gentle translucency you see are entirely natural, and the origin from Australia further underscores its pedigree as a classic and highly regarded source of White Opal.

For custom jewelry designers and their clients, the oval shape and specific dimensions of this opal make it particularly attractive. The 8.98 x 7.00 mm face up area provides a generous canvas for color to move and shift with the light, while the 3.98 mm depth is ideal for secure settings without adding unnecessary bulk. The cabochon dome is an asset in rings, pendants, and earrings, because it concentrates the play of color toward the center and disperses flashes evenly across the surface. An oval cabochon of this size is easy to bezel set for daily wear, and it also responds beautifully to prong and partial bezel techniques that allow light to enter from the sides, emphasizing translucency and multi color flashes. In short, this gem is sized to be a centerpiece that integrates seamlessly into refined bespoke designs as well as into more contemporary settings.

Design possibilities for this Australian White Opal are wide, which is why it will appeal to both makers and patrons who want their search to end with a confident choice. For an engagement ring the stone offers a romantic and ethereal focal point that performs under everyday lighting, and it complements halo arrangements as well as single stone settings that celebrate subtle color. For pendants a low profile bezel will protect the stone and let its inner colors glow, while an open back or gallery design will enhance the gem's translucency when light passes through. As a collector item the natural, untreated status of the opal is a strong selling point, and its eye clean clarity allows you to enjoy the play of color without distraction. The 1.13 carat weight is substantial enough to be admired on the hand, yet compact enough to be integrated into layered rings or a matched pair of drop earrings for an elegant set.
