How to take care of your Opal jewellery?

Opals are a beautiful and unique gemstone, but they require special care to keep them looking their best. To care for opals in jewelry, it is important to store them in a soft, padded container to protect them from scratches and damage. Additionally, opals should be kept away from extreme temperatures and chemicals, as they can cause the gemstone to crack or become discolored. When cleaning opal jewelry, use a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. It is also recommended to have opals professionally cleaned and polished as needed, and to remove opal jewelry before participating in physical activities or household chores. With proper care, opal jewelry can be enjoyed for years to come.
