Purple Tear Drop Opal Ring

Opal is recognised for its shifting play of colour and luminous depth, and is traditionally associated with creativity, imagination and emotional expression. Often described as a stone of inspiration, Opal meaning is commonly linked to individuality, artistic energy and fluid self-expression.

Natural opal forms within the earth over time, while man made opal is created to reflect the colour play and visual qualities opal is known for in a more consistent form. Both natural and created opals are chosen in jewellery for their ability to capture light and colour, offering expressive designs with lasting visual appeal.

Q: Why are synthetic opals used in jewellery?
