Opal Gem Stone And Opal Rings

Opal is the birth stone for October, white opal and fire opal are the most popular opal gems. To get the maximum satisfaction of owning and wearing opal jewelry, you will need to understand a few things about opal gems. The most important thing that you should know is that, the opal gemstone relies on internal moisture for most of it's beauty and color flashes. Doing anything that would allow the moisture in the opal to dry up, would negatively affect the beauty of your opal gem stone jewelry. It is well known that, chemicals and strong detergents could destroy an opal gemstone. When cleaning your opal ring or other opal jewelry, keep it away from ultrasonic cleaners. Opals are rarely transparent, most opals are opaque or at best transluscent. However, there is a unique type of opal that was first mined in Mexico, it is called fire opal and exhibits a high degree of transparency. Fire opal get's it's name because of it's flame like (orange) color, the gemstone will most often not have any color flashes and color play. Opal jewelry looks great in yellow or white gold but, excercise caution when choosing a white gold white opal ring. Good quality white opal will have specks of color flashes, something like tiny rainbows trapped in the opal gemstone. These white opals are suitable for yellow or white gold opal jewelry but, if you have a dull lifeless white opal (no color flashes), setting it in white gold would make the whole ring appear mundane. There ofcourse, is no reason why you should accept such a low grade white opal.
