What do I need to know about opal jewelry?
Gemstone color is one of the most important value factors of an opal. Opals display an astounding array of colors, from one or two main hues to a kaleidoscope of shimmering shades. No two opals are exactly alike, which means you should look for the one that stands out and captures your attention when you’re shopping for opal jewelry.
Can I wash my hands with an opal ring on?
Opal is a relatively delicate gem, with a Mohs hardness rating of 5 to 6.5. This means that opal jewelry requires some special care, like removing it before washing your hands and storing it in a felt-lined jewelry box when you are finished wearing it. Thoughtful wear will ensure that your opal jewelry set keeps its gorgeous sparkle for years to come.
Is opal jewelry popular?
Stylish and symbolic opal jewelry is incredibly popular. There are few gemstones that display the same enchanting color and fire that can be found in opals. The multi-colored hue of opals makes them easy to coordinate, as a colorful opal matches everything from diamonds to sapphires, pearls, and blue topazes.
