Frequently Asked Questions
Care instructions
Genuine Opal Usage: Please keep your genuine opal jewelry away from water, extreme dry conditions, or rapid temperature change. Avoid perfumed products, lotions, and chemicals directly on the gemstone (use all those goodies before putting on jewelry). If exposed to water, the opal could look cloudy; let dry for a few days. Genuine opals contain 5-6% water, if subjected to heat or rapid temperature change, this could potentially crack the opal.
Storage: Store in air-tight container/case when not in use for prolonged periods of time. This will ensure optimum jewelry condition.
