Choosing opal jewelry is a personal and meaningful journey. With every opal being truly one of a kind, finding the right piece can feel overwhelming—but that’s what makes it so special. We’ve created this guide to help you navigate the process and discover the opal that speaks to you.
Opal Jewelry Guide
Step 1: Soak your solid opal jewelry in warm water with a few drops of dishwashing detergent for up to 20 minutes. Then, using a soft toothbrush, gently clean around the setting. Solid Australian opals can also be safely cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner.
Step 2: After soaking, carefully dry your opal using a soft jeweler’s cloth to restore its shine.
Step 3: Store your opal jewelry in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat. Keep each piece separate—especially from chains or sharp-edged gems—to prevent scratches or surface damage.
How to care for your opal jewelry
Our commitment to ethical sourcing and dedication to sustainability goes beyond opals. Every gemstone we use is sourced from trusted suppliers who share our values, and our gold is a blend of recycled material and new, ethically mined gold from New Zealand.
We’re also deeply committed to supporting the outback communities that make the opal trade possible. By buying directly from miners and skipping the middleman, we ensure that profits flow back to the people and places at the heart of this industry—creating real, lasting impact where it matters most.
