How to set Crystal Opals

Crystal opals are stunning gems that possess a natural transparency, which creates a mesmerizing see-through effect when held up to a light source. These gems are unique as they lack any colorless opal material, known as potch, inside or on the back of the stone. To showcase the true beauty of these treasures, it is essential to learn the correct way of setting them.

For optimal color and brightness display, it is advisable to set crystal opals against a black or dark-colored background. This enhances the opal's beauty by allowing light to enter only through its face or front side. To ensure that the crystal opal's splendor is exhibited correctly, it is recommended to use a closed-in backing, such as a bezel setting with oxidized silver or gold. However, it is best to avoid using an open backing, like a claw-style ring or two-sided pendant, as this may not display the opal's full glory.
