Schwarze Opalringe
Schwarze Opalringe, Along with pendants, Ohrringe, bracelets and other jewelry, have been around for über 100 Jahre. These classic black opal rings and jewelry items were not known on the international scene until someone discovered boulder opal in Queensland.
It was found that by removing the top layer of the dark brown ironstone ‘matrix’ and leaving the ironstone in the back of the opal as a base which the opal is, made from, the whole look of the stone would change from a light color to a dark color.

Although of course, it’s obvious to anyone seeing it that it is. Lightning Ridge black opal rings along with pendants is what has become more promoted, but it must be said that many boulder opals have more depth of color at a more reasonable price than Ridge stones.
Combining the opal color in the stone itself with the amazing patterns of the ironstone creates jewelry that is so stunning and original that you could say there is certainly nothing else on earth like it like them.
So whether it be the amazing and very expensive stones from Lightning Ridge or the Queensland black opal rings, jewelry made from these stones are very impressive
What are free-form Schwarze Opalringe?
There was a time when every one of these stones had to be oval and high domed. This has all changed. Particularly since the use of Dental equipment has become common amongst opal cutters.
Some of the hills and valleys in these stones that we call ‘undulates’ are just amazing and if the design artist can work with a free-form (any shaped) Stück, the potential for creativity is greatly expanded.
Black opal rings versus white opals
Opals are amazing to look at whether in a ring or a pendant. Black opal rings are more expensive if the quality is high and the color is more dynamic and more obvious. White or crystal opal is more delicate and the color more subdued. It really depends on your taste.
