About Opal Rings For Women

Most opals have either an overall white, black, or crystal tone. While the play of colors is often most intense in black opals, they can be equally stunning in white opals. Crystal opals are generally more subtle and delicate, rather than fiery. Similarly, most opals’ colors are either predominantly reds and oranges, predominantly blues and greens, though many feature both color families.

It wasn’t until Queen Victoria herself popularized opals by wearing them and giving opals as gifts that they regained their popularity. Today, opal rings for women are an ideal gift. Even many women who don’t like traditional gemstone jewelry are drawn to opals for their mysterious and ever-changing beauty.

• Durability - Opals rate a 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale. Opals will dry out if you expose them to heat, especially dry heat, for  long periods.
  
• Opal Mines - The majority of opals come from Australia but opals also come from Africa, especially Ethiopia, Mexico, and the United States. 
• Care - Opals are softer than many other gemstones and do need some extra care. Never clean an opal in an ultrasonic cleaner or with any kind of cleaning fluid, and look for a setting that protects the stone’s edges. Avoid getting perfume or lotion on them – instead, put your opal jewelry on last, after putting on perfume or lotion. With a little care, opal rings for women can last for generations.
