1. OPAL’S INNER ATTRACTION
Different items of upal jewelry can be made. Of course, we all know that there are opal
pendants, opal rings, opal earrings and many more, but opals, unlike other stones like
diamonds and rubies, can be made into special kinds of jewelry.There is a species of opal
from Australia called Corvette and it is an unusual type of stone compared to the Australian
black opal. It is mostly a reddish, dark brown iron rock with random opal slashes. A jeweler
you can't imagine doing too much,But just drill a hole through it and attach a thick chain or a
cheap leather thread and it makes a gorgeous chunky necklace and it looks great for men as
well as women.
Then there is the boulder opal which often comes as a piece of opal naturally attached to the
iron stone or sandstone. The opal stone may be dull and may not have any fire associated
with the gemstone opal but when we look at it closely it has a pattern that may look like a
sea view or a mountain range view or all sorts of other things.It can be something you just
want to look at and imagine seeing all sorts of things Try it with a diamond! The beauty of
such a part is that it is not gem quality and very cheap.I like jewelry because it is not only
cheap to buy but people ask questions about it when you wear it and they want to inspect it
up close. It started a great conversation. You never ask people if they can see your topaz
ring.They never asked for your ring.But with a $40 necklace of cheap corvette or boulder
opal you will ask strangers what kind of stone it is and where it came from.Then there’s my
favorite opal inlay jewelry. Beautiful pieces of crystal opal are set on the metal of rings,
earrings and pendants. The opal is finished off the flush with the surrounding metal. We
often see it with annoying rocks such as onyx and other layers with very few colored
minerals. But, when you make inlay opal jewelry you usually use high quality opal and the
results are great.You can place almost any other gemstone next to it and it will enhance the
part of the jewelry. Opals with diamond accents will always look stunning. Conversely, you
can inlay opals on each side of a pink topaz or emerald main stone and then you can have a
bright item of jewelry.Opal can be inlaid, prong set or bezel set. These can be glued in
places where other stones will not look so attractive.A comforting aspect of opal jewelry is
that the stone will be mined by a group of single men or women living in harsh conditions
outside of Australia. There are no big companies involved and no forced labor.It is the labor
of love. Think about ruby and other stone cutting that is often done by school children. I am
an opal cutter and although it is hard I enjoy doing it and I have never met an opal cutter who
is not fond of opal so there is a kind of love attached to these stones. Polish.
