 Opal Auctions has all different design and sizes of Doublet Opal Rings for sale direct from manufacturer, and they are so popular as good value for bright fire colours in an individual opal ring.

Doublets are thin slice natural crystal opal that has back glued on.

This back is natural ironstone form the opal fields in Queensland and Australian Crystal opal is used to make these doublets.

It is labour intensive as crystal must be cleaned and made ready to glue in ironstone.

 Some crystals have inclusions and they are normally cut out, so crystal is clean and looks bright.

The Body tone of some crystal can be N7 but when set onto backing this enhances the colour and makes it deeper and brighter, so it could N2.

This is main reason why doublet opals are so popular in silver sings as you get good value fire colours at an inexpensive price compared to solid opal same colour.
