The clear see through half circle locket is so popular to show off the Precious Opal.
Fine opal is sought after for its brilliant iridescence - unique and magical interplays of color created  by the inner diffraction of white light into dazzling rainbow hues. The more intense the 'play of color from within, the more valuable the opal.
Australia produces around 95% of the world's  opals, including gem quality opal from the famous South Australian town of Coober Pedy, and coveted Black Opal from Lightning Ridge in New South Wales. A token of hope in ancient times, opal is the modern birthstone of people born in October.
