19.24 Ct. Boulder Opal from Australia

The centerpiece of this exquisite custom jewelry offering from The Natural Gemstone Company is a striking 19.24 carat fancy-shaped multi-color Boulder Opal, renowned for its unique play of colors and captivating allure. With dimensions measuring an impressive 27.30 x 19.30 x 5.20 mm, this opal boasts a rare combination of vibrant color emissions and an exquisite tablet cut that enhances its natural charm. Extracted from the rich opal fields of Australia, this Boulder Opal embodies the earthy grandeur and enigmatic beauty synonymous with its place of origin. Characterized by its intense color intensity, this gemstone represents a masterful display of nature's artistry, ensuring it draws the eye from every angle.

The tablet cut of the opal creates a broad, flat surface that not only showcases the stone’s innate brilliance but also amplifies its varied hues, ranging from deep blues and subtle greens to warm oranges and flashes of red. This specialized faceting style allows for a magnificent display of opalescent fire, a signature characteristic of Boulder Opals. The excellent polish employed in the crafting process further refines the stone’s surface, ensuring that each facet reflects light with unparalleled clarity. Every angle offers a new spectrum of iridescent colors, emphasizing the meticulous craftsmanship that brought this opal to life. The interplay of colors creates a dynamic visual effect, mesmerizing observers and making it a piece that knowledgeable buyers will admire and covet.

Designed to be the focal point of a custom jewelry creation, this opulent Boulder Opal can be wonderfully complemented by other carefully selected gemstones. To maximize its striking palette, pair it with rich blue sapphires or deep red rubies. The contrast between the vivid colors of these gemstones and the multicolored fire of the opal can result in a composition that captivates the attention and evokes a sense of luxury and sophistication. The incorporation of diamonds accentuates the opal's luminosity, providing a crisp, sparkling boundary that enhances its already vibrant hues. Pear-cut diamonds can add a touch of elegance and symmetry, guiding the eye towards the opal and contributing to a sophisticated balance in the overall design.

Within this magnificent gemstone arrangement, the use of fine gold or platinum as a setting can enhance the opal's natural beauty, providing a neutral backdrop that allows its vibrant colors to radiate. The versatility of the fancy shape of the opal accommodates innovative design opportunities, supporting an arrangement where creativity and elegance coexist. Whether crafted as a pendant, brooch, or ring, the opal's commanding presence ensures it remains the hero of the setting. Not only does the opal serve as a centerpiece, but it also forms an integral part of a dialogue with complementary gems. This never-ending conversation between stones generates an effect of sophistication that appeals to those with a nuanced understanding of fine gems.
