The Beauty & Appeal of Black Opals

Black opals are revered not only for their rarity, but also for their vivid, vibrant play of colour. Unlike lighter opals, the dark background enhances the brilliance of the colours, making the reds, greens, blues and purples seem more intense and captivating. Each piece of black opal jewellery tells its own story, with no two black opals ever being the same. This powerful visual impact is one of the reasons why black opals are often chosen for heirloom pieces. Their mysterious depth and dramatic contrasts evoke a sense of timeless elegance, appealing to collectors, designers and wearers alike who appreciate both natural beauty and individuality.

One of the Rarest Forms of Opal in the World

Black opals are one of the rarest forms of opal in the entire world. They are distinguishable by a black or grey body colour and are favoured by not only Australians, but by people from all over the world. A small New South Wales town named Lightning Ridge, located just under the Queensland border, is home to these precious stones. There is often a general misconception that they will be entirely black in colour, but this is incorrect. They actually showcase an amazing and beautiful range of colours.

Choose from a Range of Unique Options

Whether you’re looking for something bold and dramatic or soft and elegant, Johnston Opals offers a wide range of black opal pendant styles to suit all preferences. Choose from teardrop-shaped stones set in minimalist bezels, intricate settings featuring multiple opals and other options that exude sophistication. Our catalogue includes designs in yellow gold, white gold and sterling silver, making it easy to find a piece that matches your taste and wardrobe. There’s truly something to complement every personal style.
