1.16 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

Imagine the warm smile on a loved one’s face the moment they lift a delicate box to their eyes, and inside rests a luminous White Opal that seems to hold a small, soft aurora within. This is an opaque 1.16 carat oval shape White Opal, measuring 8.87 x 7.01 x 4.64 mm, shaped into a graceful cabochon cut that invites the light to dance across its surface. With a clarity grade of eye clean evaluated at eye level, and a near colorless color intensity, this gem presents a quiet, elegant glow rather than a shout, a subtlety that translates to timeless jewelry that will be cherished for years. The excellent polish enhances every gentle curve and inner shimmer, and with no enhancement, this piece is a true, natural expression of Australia’s storied opal fields, offered proudly by The Natural Gemstone Company.

When set in jewelry, this White Opal’s soft, opalescent body becomes a canvas for emotion, catching and reflecting faint blues, pinks, and pearly flashes that appear as you move and as light changes. The cabochon cut gives it a pillowy depth so each angle reveals a new mood, reminiscent of soft dawn light or a whispered promise. Because it is opaque with near colorless intensity, it brings a halo of serenity to any design, working beautifully with both minimalist modern settings and intricate vintage mounts. The gem’s eye clean clarity means its surface is visually flawless at normal viewing, allowing the wearer to relax and connect with the gem’s calming glow rather than study imperfections. This opal is an invitation to create moments, to celebrate a proposal, an anniversary, or a milestone, a keepsake that quietly says I chose something real and singular for you.

The true magic of this White Opal is how its color and light play harmonize with every skin tone, creating an inclusive elegance that flatters and uplifts. On fair skin, the near colorless body and gentle flashes offer a luminous contrast, bringing warmth to the complexion and adding a soft, ethereal highlight that reads as delicate and refined. For medium and olive tones, the opal acts like a polished whisper, picking up underlying golden or olive undertones and translating them into a serene glow, especially when set in rose gold which deepens its pink and peach flashes, or in yellow gold which warms its milkiness into an intimate, heirloom quality. Against deeper skin tones, the White Opal’s milky body and pastel flashes sing with radiant clarity, standing out with graceful luminosity that is both striking and tender. In these combinations, white gold or platinum settings give the stone a modern, luminous edge, while warmer golds create a cozy, romantic frame.

Wear this White Opal in a ring, pendant, or pair of earrings, and feel how it becomes part of your story, an every day treasure that quietly earns looks and tells a tale of thoughtful beauty. At The Natural Gemstone Company we source this Australian White Opal with care, ensuring no enhancements, honest grading, and a polish that allows its inner life to be enjoyed immediately upon setting.
