Opals
Opal triplets like this are used in this jewelry. Perhaps the most inexpensive way to enjoy the beauty of the opal is to buy what are known as 'triplets'.
A triplet is simply a very thin slice of natural opal, sandwiched between a clear glass or quartz cap, and a stone or opal potch backing. The clear cap magnifies and protects the opal slice, and the backing enhances the color of the opal.
The whole idea is that even average quality opal can be made to look like high quality 'black opal', and can produce many inexpensive, but very beautiful 'stones'.
Stability and Care of Triplets
Because the opal slice is captured in an air-tight sandwich, using a very fine jewelers epoxy, they are generally not subject to clouding or cracking. However, they should not be subjected to extended periods of immersion in water, nor should they be exposed to strong solvents.
Since the 'cap' is made of a hard stone like quartz, should it become scratched, it can easily be re-polished by a jeweler or stone cutter.
