Doublet opal pendants bring the fire of Australian opal into an accessible format. A doublet consists of a thin slice of natural opal bonded to a dark backing material, usually ironstone or black potch. This construction enhances the stone's color play while providing structural support that solid opals of this thinness could not achieve. Our collection includes 28,529 doublet opal pendants set in .925 sterling silver, priced from $16 to $11,402. Each pendant ships free within the United States.

A solid opal is cut from a single piece of natural opal. A doublet bonds a thin opal slice to a dark backing, which enhances color display and reduces cost while still using genuine opal material.
Brief water exposure is generally safe, but avoid prolonged soaking. Water can seep between the opal and backing layers over time, causing separation or cloudiness. Remove your pendant before swimming or showering.
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. Store away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals. Opal contains water content and can crack if dehydrated.
