Opals are considered as one of the most eye-catching gemstones in the world because of their iridescent colours. Lab created opals closely resemble the appearance of natural opal but at affordable costs. Opal, which comes from the Greek word opallios (change of colours) is an amorphous mineral and hydrated silica. Its internal spheres are arranged in layers allowing and diffracting light at specific points, thus, creating the brilliant displays of colours that characterise the gemstone. It is the national gemstone of Australia from which 97% of the world’s supply is sourced. As natural opal can be very expensive, in the last 40 years scientists have developed the technology to produce lab-created opals. These synthetic opals have identical chemical, physical and optical qualities as natural opals so much so that it takes an experienced eye to know the difference upon closer inspection. In fact, they have several advantages as they are more resistant to changes in temperature, cracking and drying out. Lab created opal is like a natural product and consequently every stone is different and every piece of Jewellery unique. The process of preparing stones to be inlaid in the Jewellery is complex and requires handiwork by experienced craftsmen.
