Opalescence Collection

Entrancing. Mesmerising. Wondrous. The Opalescence collection celebrates the magnificence of Australian opals. Opal is one of the world's most beautiful and rarest precious gemstones. Australian gemstones can easily be distinguished by their brilliance and play of colour. The Gerard McCabe Opalescence collection incorporates white opal from Coober Pedy in South Australia and black opal from Lightning Ridge in New South Wales. The solid opal gemstones are cut into softly curved cabochons which allow the glorious play of colour to take centre stage.
