[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 292914, member: 2844"]The setting is Modernist in style, possibly period too. The cabochon certainly looks like a doublet. Strange, they needn't have done that, the top layer is thick enough to be set as it is. It is natural opal, which is nice to see. I come across too many manmade opals for my liking. I think Australian is a safe bet in this case, although, as komo said, they are found in other places as well. Precious opals are found in the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia. Australia is still number one, but the Ethiopian opal mining industry is growing fast.[/QUOTE]
