1.89 Ct. Crystal/Jelly Opal from Australia

Presenting a beautiful translucent 1.89 carat oval multi color opal from The Natural Gemstone Company, a stone that combines gentle body tone with lively internal color, offering an elegant presence that works equally well for a refined pendant or a one of a kind ring. This gem measures 16.10 x 10.20 x 1.80 mm, and is fashioned in a tablet cut that accentuates its broad surface and delicate dome, allowing the play of color to show across the table for a soft, mosaic effect. The type is a Crystal or Jelly Opal, known for its clarity and light transmission, and this example displays those characteristics beautifully. The opal is translucent, with a medium light color intensity that creates a subtle, ethereal glow rather than an overpowering flash, which makes it highly versatile for jewelry that is meant to be worn daily or kept as a treasured heirloom piece.

In terms of clarity and finish, the gem is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means it is exceptionally clean to the naked eye and any minute inclusions are visible only under magnification. The polish is excellent, delivering a smooth, reflective surface that enhances the internal fire and color patches. There has been no enhancement applied to this stone, the opal is untreated and natural in every respect, preserving its original structure and character as it emerged from Australian sources. The origin is Australia, a region renowned for producing top quality opal material, and this provenance adds to the gem s desirability and value. Visual characteristics include a multi color play dominated by lively greens and blues, with softer flecks of warm tones that appear as the stone moves under light, creating a gentle kaleidoscope rather than sharp pinpoints of color, which suits those who appreciate a more subtle, sophisticated opal aesthetic.

For settings and styling, the oval tablet shape lends itself to bezel settings that protect the thin profile and emphasize the elongated silhouette, or to elegant prong settings that allow light to pass through from the sides and accentuate the crystal like clarity, however care should be taken with prong settings due to the opal s relative softness compared with harder gemstones. A low profile bezel in warm metals will pick up the opal s soft flashes and complement the softer color intensity, while a white metal setting will highlight the cooler green and blue hues. Because the thickness is relatively shallow at 1.80 mm, designing a setting that protects the edge and distributes impact is recommended, and our design consultants at The Natural Gemstone Company can advise on custom mountings that respect the stone s proportions and optical character. This opal is particularly well suited to pendants and earrings where the tablet cut and translucency can interact with ambient light, delivering a captivating, wearable art effect.
