Factors Affecting Opal Bracelet Price
When choosing a natural opal bracelet, you need to understand the key elements that influence its pricing. At GemPundit, each opal bracelet is priced with complete transparency. We always keep global gemstone standards and customer trust in mind. Here are the top factors that determine an opal bracelet’s value:
Origin
The opal’s source plays a major role in its price. The ones from Australia, especially Lightning Ridge black opals and Coober Pedy white opals, are globally prized for their vivid play-of-colour and rarity. Ethiopian opals, though, are generally more affordable. But they also offer stunning transparency and fire. At GemPundit, we clearly mention the origin. So that you can make an informed choice.
Colour
Opals display a spectrum of colours. They are commonly known as “play-of-colour.” Stones with strong, vibrant flashes of red, blue, or green tend to be more valuable. The background colour also affects the price. For example, black opals are the rarest and most expensive. It is followed by crystal and white opals. Uniform and vivid colour distribution adds to both aesthetic appeal and cost.
Clarity
Clarity in opals refers to the transparency and the presence of visible inclusions or cracks. High-quality opals are free from visible blemishes. They also show good transparency or a clean body tone. It makes them more desirable and thus, more expensive.
Carat Weight
As with most gemstones, the price of opal increases with carat weight, especially for high-quality stones. Larger opals with a strong play-of-colour and good clarity command premium rates in the market.
Cut
The way an opal is cut affects how its colours are displayed. Expertly cut opals maximise the gemstone’s natural fire. It adds to both its beauty and price. GemPundit’s optimal cutting styles highlight each opal’s best features.
With expert craftsmanship and prompt delivery, GemPundit focuses on giving not just a beautiful, real opal bracelet but also a piece of genuine opal jewellery you can truly trust and cherish.
