Selecting and Caring for Your Opal Ring
When purchasing an opal ring, choosing a protective setting is key to ensuring the longevity of the gemstone. Jewelers often utilize bezel settings, which wrap the metal around the edges of the stone, shielding it from impacts during daily wear. Boulder opals are also excellent choices for rings because their natural ironstone backing provides extra durability.
To keep an opal ring sparkling, it should be removed before activities like sports, gardening, or cleaning with harsh detergents. Clean the ring using a soft cloth, lukewarm water, and mild soap. Please ensure the ring size is verified before purchase, as rings are sold with clearly stated sizes and are not eligible for returns due to sizing issues.9 Read latest market updates and stories on the Opal Galaxy news page.
