[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 316342, member: 2844"]No they don't. They are too light to be black. But that doesn't mean they are not nice, looks like they are. I think even as doublets they deserve a better look. Doublets are not worthless, just not worth as much as solid opals. I have a collection of opal jewellery, but only one black opal, a harlequin black. My set of Aussie white pinfire opal and gold jewellery has a nice value. So has my favourite opal ring, set with three genuine Kalimaya opals and Ceylon sapphires. Real Kalimaya opals are rare, most that are sold as Kalimaya are treated Welo opals.

What I mean is, opals don't have to be black to be nice.[/QUOTE]
