Ethiopian Opal

Opal, renowned for its mesmerising play of colours, is one of the most enchanting gemstones in the world. Known as the "Queen of Gems," opal displays a breathtaking array of colours that shift and change with the light — a phenomenon known as play-of-colour that gives each opal its unique and magical character. Symbolising creativity, inspiration and imagination, Ethiopian opals in particular are celebrated for their vivid, hydrophane nature and exceptional colour range.

Opal's unique beauty makes it a coveted choice in jewellery design. Set in rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets, opal's stunning play-of-colour becomes the centrepiece of any design. It pairs beautifully with gold and silver, and is often accented with diamonds or other gemstones to enhance its natural allure. Due to opal's remarkable individuality, each piece of opal jewellery is entirely one-of-a-kind.

At Karen Brand Limited, we source our opal exclusively from the finest mines in Ethiopia. Every piece is ethically mined and meticulously inspected for colour intensity, pattern and clarity. We offer both rough and cut Ethiopian opal to suit collectors, jewellers and wholesale buyers worldwide.
