Our Opal Doublets
Professionally Calibrated....
Our Opal Doublets have been made with the Manufacturing Jeweller, the Opal "enthusiast" & the Artisan Jeweller in mind.
All our Opal Doublets are professionally & precisely calibrated to a world-class standard.
Our calibrations are cut within a fine variation of 1/10 tenth of a millimetre, ensuring a neat fit directly into your precious and semi-precious jewelry settings - for a beautifully finished jewelry creation !
Our Doublet Backing
....The backing material that is used in our range of doublets is premium quality jet black Leadlight glass - it's MOHS hardness is virtually identical to that of opal, therefore very compatible.
The bonding of the opal to the leadlight glass is achieved by a special blending of five different industrial strength compounds - giving rise to an incredibly strong, durable and cohesive bonding compound, second to none.
An added benefit of using leadlight glass for backing material is the high mirror polish of the jet black sides (which matches the mirror finish of the opal face itself).
This is advantageous especially for the "claw-type" jewelry setting - where the sides, or a portion of the doublet side, is visible.
