Opal Engagement

There are two broad classes of opal: precious and common.

Depending on the conditions in which it formed, opal may be transparent, translucent or opaque and the background color may be white, black or nearly any color of the visual spectrum. Black opal is considered to be the rarest, whereas white, gray and green are the most common.

First opal is soft, so always avoid having it on during any activity that could scratch it’s surface.

Second avoid activities that involve water, sweat or cleaners. This can quickly dull the luster. Opals are heat sensitive but if you avoid the situations where you sweat, your normal body heat should be ok

While opal is considered an October birthstone, it is widely used in a range of jewelry and can be very much a fashion piece for anyone. There are many gorgeous variations of opals including a variety of eye catching fire opals.
