Frequently Asked Questions

How can I determine the authenticity and value of an opal gemstone?

To assess opal authenticity and value, examine its play-of-color—genuine opals show vibrant, varied colors from different angles. High-quality opals have consistent brightness, with body tone, transparency, and pattern also affecting value. For accuracy, seek professional appraisal or certification.

What factors should I consider when choosing the right opal for my needs or collection?

When choosing an opal for jewelry, consider the type (black, white, boulder, or crystal), as each has unique traits. Look for vibrant play-of-color, as the more varied, the more valuable. Body tone, clarity, and pattern also impact value. Finally, consider size and shape for your intended use, whether for jewelry or as a collector's item.

How should opal gemstones be cared for and maintained to ensure their longevity and beauty?

Opals should be stored in a padded container, away from other jewelry, to prevent scratches. Avoid extreme temperature or humidity changes. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. Regularly check for damage and consider professional inspections for optimal care.
