Opal care tips

Opals are one of October's birthstones, and also one of the more delicate gems in jewelry. 

Here are a few tips to keep your opals safe and in gorgeous condition.
  • Don't wear your opal jewelry while cleaning; the harsh chemicals may harm the opal, and the precious metal. 
  • Be careful while wearing your opal jewelry; hard knocks can damage or chip the opal.
  • Store your opal jewelry separately from your other jewelry; the metal and other gems can scratch the opal.
  • The old wives tale of storing your opal jewelry in water or baby oil is false, and is unnecessary.
