Our jewelery manafacturing is contracted out to one factory in asia where i supply  both the silver and stones to be set.This gives me control of  the quality of both the silver and stones.

WHAT IS A DOUBLET ?

Doublets consist of two layers adhered together with glue:

1. A thin slice of opal (normally transparent crystal ). The thickness of the opal in a doublet can vary, however it is generally thicker than the opal found in a triplet.
2. A black backing which is made of either black  glass, natural black potch (common opal), hard plastic or natural brown ironstone

Note .we have taken the picture with a Nikon coolpix 4500  camera which captures a purple tone in the stone which our eyes cant see.This is a predominate blue stone.
