4.75 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

This 4.75 carat oval White Opal from Australia is an object of singular desire, an emblem of refined taste and confident ownership, offered with the discerning care of The Natural Gemstone Company. Its opaque body presents a sophisticated canvas for a tapestry of multi color play, a visual signature that shifts and deepens with every movement. Measuring 13.79 x 10.23 x 7.36 mm, the proportions are generous and balanced, a presence that reads as both substantial and elegant. The stone is fashioned in a classic cabochon cut, the dome emphasizing its luminous flashes, while the medium color intensity preserves an air of subtlety that complements both daytime and evening attire. The polish is excellent, a mirror finish that magnifies the opalology within, and most importantly this gem is entirely natural, with no enhancement, the purity of its Australian origin intact and unaltered.

In considering durability, this White Opal stands apart among opal offerings, because its opaque structure and robust dimensions confer a level of resilience that suits daily wear when set thoughtfully. Opal typically registers near 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, and while that calls for respect, the cabochon form of this gem mitigates vulnerability, the rounded profile dispersing potential impact rather than exposing sharp facets to risk. The depth of this stone at 7.36 mm is meaningful, providing a substantive mass that resists penetration and abrasion more readily than thin slices or fragile doublets. Its excellent polish reduces the adherence of abrasive particles, and the absence of enhancements means there are no resins or fillings that might alter its long term performance. Paired with a protective setting and considered daily care, this White Opal will carry the rigors of everyday life with grace and enduring beauty.

To make this White Opal truly perfect for daily wear, consider settings and metal choices that respect the jewel and amplify its longevity. A flush bezel setting casts a protective rim around the oval form, shielding the girdle and edges from nicks and unintentional blows, while maintaining a sleek, modern silhouette that complements the stone rather than overpowering it. Low profile mounts limit exposure during activities, and options in platinum or high karat gold create a hard, stable frame that resists deformation over time. For rings intended for constant wear, we recommend a secure bezel or rub over mount, for pendants a robust bail and close fitting bezel prevent catch and movement, and for earrings the reduced risk of impact makes studs or drops ideal choices. Routine care is simple, it is best to avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners, to remove the piece for strenuous activity, and to store the opal away from harder gemstones to prevent surface scratching, simple precautions that preserve brilliance without diminishing the pleasure of daily wear.

This White Opal is more than a gem, it is a statement, a manifestation of discerning taste and a celebration of achievement, one that The Natural Gemstone Company is honored to present to connoisseurs of fine jewelry. Its natural Australian origin and lack of enhancement underscore its authenticity, while the combination of medium color intensity, excellent polish, and the protective virtues of the cabochon cut mean that with professional setting and modest attention it will serve as a treasured daily companion. Envision this oval multi color opal as the centerpiece of a signature ring that announces quiet confidence, as the heart of a pendant that catches the eye in movement, or as a pair of earrings that elevate every moment. To own this gem is to claim a rare intersection of beauty and practicality, an heirloom quality piece that reflects individuality, sophistication, and enduring elegance.
