Frequently asked questions about opal gemstone jewelry

What makes opal jewelry unique?

Opal jewelry stands out because of its play of color, where light dances through tiny silica spheres in the stone, creating shifting rainbows that change with the angle.

How do I care for natural opal jewelry?

Handle natural opal jewelry gently: Avoid hot water, chemicals, or ultrasonics. Clean with a soft, damp cloth and store in a soft pouch to prevent scratches.

Is real opal jewelry delicate?

Real opal jewelry can be softer than diamonds (around 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale), so it scratches more easily. Be sure to safely store your pieces if you’re swimming, handling harsh chemicals, or doing manual labor.
