About Kyoto Opal

“Kyoto Opal” is a term used to refer to the synthetic opal material developed by Kyocera in Kyoto, Japan. Seemingly identical to naturally occurring opal, Kyoto Opal is manufactured to overcome the gem’s inherent brittleness, which gives it a tendency to split and crack. This enables the material to be cut into more diverse shapes. It can be used in various applications to provide rich and subtle hues and tints through special coloring techniques. Kyocera’s proprietary technology creates a unique aesthetic quality that cannot be duplicated by other molded resin-based products.

Kyocera’s synthetic opals have been used in jewelry and accessories all over the world since 1980. In 2008, Kyocera launched the “Kyoto Opal” brand in Japan as a unique decorative material. Since then, it has been utilized in a readily growing range of products available in Japan and other markets, including Casio’s SHEEN watch lineup, Yamaha’s musical instruments, Japanese traditional crafts, and more recently nail gels and glitters.
