If you make jewelry, this Ethiopian opal is a good stone to start a design with. It is sold loose, so the setting is up to you. Many makers choose an Ethiopian black opal earring design because opal looks great near the face, where the light catches it. Dark opals go well with silver, yellow gold and rose gold. Small diamonds or white stones placed next to it make the colors look even stronger.
A lot of buyers want to know where you can find black opal and how much an opal costs. Black opal is found in only a few places in the world, and Ethiopia is one of them. Every stone is priced differently, so it helps to buy from a seller who shows a clear rate per carat.
