Triplet Opal Earrings
Every pair here is set with genuine Australian opal in triplet form — slices of natural opal, backed for depth and finished with a clear protective cap. It's our most affordable way to own and wear real Australian opal, and we always tell you exactly what you're buying.
What is a triplet opal?
A triplet is three layers: a dark backing, a thin slice of genuine natural opal in the middle, and a clear quartz or glass cap on top that magnifies the colour and shields the stone. It uses the least opal of the three forms, so it's the most accessible — while still being real Australian opal, not synthetic or imitation. A doublet has two layers and no cap; a solid is a single natural stone. Browse all opal earrings →
Why choose triplets
- Genuine Australian opal — real natural stones, at our most accessible price.
- Bright, protected colour — the clear cap magnifies the fire and guards the opal.
- Easy everyday wear — a lovely way to carry a piece of Australia home.
A note on care: a triplet is layered under a protective cap, so keep it clear of soaking or swimming — a gentle wipe with a soft, dry cloth keeps it looking its best.
