Learn About Opals
Opal is one of the few mineraloids used in fine jewelry making. It is a flashy stone that captures the colors of the rainbow deep within itself. Opals are thought to bring good fortune while sadness and envy are said to melt away leaving only love when one is present. Opal is a symbol of hope and innocence and is an endless pick-me-up. Opals occur in the fissures of almost any kind of rock and have even been found with fossils embedded within them. Australia considers Opal its national gemstone and 97% of the worlds Opals come from there.
However, Opals from other locations come in many colors and thus Opal is classified as Dark or Black Opal, White or Light Opal, Milk or Crystal Opal, Boulder Opal, Opal Matrix, “Picture Stones“, and Mexican or Fire Opal. Each category of Opal has its own signature color spectrum though the light/ white or milk/crystal Opal has been most heavily sold throughout the years. Judge Opals based on the amount of color play they exhibit. Opal is a softer stone ranking 5.5-6.5 on the Mohs scale (used to determine gem hardness) and should be worn with care. Opal is one of the birthstones for October.
Opal Care and Earring Sizing
Opal Care:
With a hardness of 6 on the Mohs scale, opal is softer than many other gems and should be stored and worn carefully to avoid being scratched or damaged by other jewelry.
This gem should also be protected from blows, as exposed corners can chip. Opals should not be exposed to heat, acid, or ultrasonic cleaning.
Clean opal jewelry with Day's Jewelry Cleaner or with mild dish soap in warm water: Use a toothbrush to scrub behind the stone where dust, dirt and soap film may collect.
Your Day's in-store team would be happy to buff, clean and inspect your jewelry at no cost any time.
Earring Sizing:
Generally, the only earrings that are able to be altered in size are dangle or drop styles which can be shortened.
It is common for the width or thickness of an earring to be expressed in millimeters. The chart below compares centimeters to inches. One centimeter is equal to 10 millimeters.
