Black Opal Engagement Rings are in a class of their own for beauty, with their rainbow variety of hues blossoming in fire-like patterns, from oranges, greens, blues and flashes of red, pink and indigo. An intense Black Opal Engagement Ring that really mesmerises can be worth many tens of thousands. Against this backdrop, the classic rainbow hues of an opal dance in beautiful patterns on top. Instead, they have a natural backing called "potch," which gives them a dark hue.
Black Opals appear black but are really not black. Unfortunately, this variety of opal is so rare because Black Opals can only be found in one place on earth, a small 30km square field in North-western NSW called “Lightning Ridge”. A brilliant blue/green can be more valuable than a dull red bright twinkling stars of a ‘pin fire’ pattern can be more valuable than a cloudy ‘open’ or ‘mixed’ pattern of similar colouration or a brilliant, lustrous light Opal can sell more than a lack-lustre Black Opal.Īustralian Black Opal Engagement Rings are gorgeous and are the most precious opal variation on the market. However, the brilliance and clarity of an opal’s proportioned pattern is the main decision-maker. Therefore, Red Fire Opal is generally more valuable than a predominantly Green Opal, which is more valuable than a stone showing only blue colour. Red fire is the rarest colour, followed by green/orange, green/blue and blue. The clarity of opal’s colour is critical when assessing the value of an Opal Ring. As the most valuable form of opal, Black Opal may cost over $10,000 AUD per carat. Generally, opal gemstones with a black or dark body tone showcase a more vibrant play-of-colour, which is considered more valuable than opals with a white, light, or crystal body tone. It is also crucial to consider the quality of the cut and polish and the gemstone's size. An Opal Ring is meticulously examined and assigned a price per carat when evaluated this total carat size determines the opal's price.
The value of Australian Opal Rings is difficult to assess, as each characteristic of an opal plays a role in determining its worth, including the opal's gemstone type, body tone, clarity, pattern, colour bar thickness, colour play, and flaws.
