Is every opal different?
Yes. Natural opals vary in colour, pattern and intensity of their play of colour. No two gemstones are exactly alike, making every piece unique.
Is opal jewellery suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, with appropriate care. Opal is softer than gemstones such as sapphire or diamond, so we recommend removing your jewellery before sport, swimming, gardening or heavy manual work.

How do I clean opal jewellery?
Clean your opal jewellery using warm water, mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners and abrasive materials that may damage the gemstone.
What is play of colour?
Play of colour is the optical effect that makes opal unique. As light moves across the stone, vibrant flashes of different colours appear beneath the surface.
Can I wear opal jewellery every day?
Yes. Many people wear opal jewellery daily. With sensible care and proper storage, it can remain beautiful for years.
Why choose natural opal?
Natural opal is valued for its individuality. Every gemstone has its own colour patterns and character, meaning no two pieces of jewellery are ever exactly the same.
