FAQ about Opal Rings
Why are opal rings considered special?
Opals are admired for their unique play of color, known as opalescence. No two opals are exactly the same, which means each opal ring offers a one-of-a-kind appearance, ranging from vivid fire-like colors to oceanic blues.
What should I consider when buying an opal ring?
When purchasing an opal ring, consider the type of opal (such as black opal, white opal, or fire opal), as well as its brightness and pattern. Also, ensure that the opal is well-protected within its setting due to its relative softness.
How do I care for my opal ring?
Opal rings require careful handling; avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures, harsh chemicals, or rough activities. Clean them using a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent, and store them away from other harder gemstones.
Are opal rings good for daily wear?
Opals are softer than many other gemstones, which makes them less ideal for daily wear unless extra precautions are taken to protect the opal stone in a sturdy setting.
