Care for opal jewelry

1. CARE FOR OPAL JEWELRY
I have cut and polished many opal stones but I have never seen such beautiful gemstones
as these unique fragile gemstones.I can't finish counting how many gemstones I've set in
jewelry, but I haven't found so many love stones like opal. First of all, some of the valuable
tips and advices on the care and preservation of opal can be said that,One of the first
valuable tips and advices for the care and preservation of opal is that opal stone is not as
hard as emerald so it has to be very careful while cleaning so that it does not get scratched
by anything hard.The safety of opal stone will be ensured if it is not rubbed or broken with
something hard.Care should be taken to ensure that the Opal Cufflinks is not damaged by
sharp objects during cleaning and storage.Opal is like transparent glass with few exceptions.
So its care is comparable to glass. Clear glass can be stained if it is rubbed with something
hard or sharp which cannot be erased by anything or it can be broken if it is hit with
something hard.
So when cleaning and washing opal jewelry, you have to use soft clothvery carefully as
glass marble।The small transparent andshiny particles of sand come together for a long
time and solidify into opal rocks. When a marble-shaped ball is formed by a number of very
small transparent sand particles, the amount of water that accumulates inside it is 7 -
10%.Of course, silica beads or balls on an opal stick together much more tightly than the
“marble in a bowl” example, and the water is much less. Opal may contain about 10%
water.The color of an opal andthe shiny sand comes from the ball team. Depending on the
shape of the ball no light will be reflectedtowards the eye. Some groups are close enough
to reflect red light, others will reflect blue or green light slightly differently. The balls break
down the light and reflect a certain color dependingon the size of the silica ball and the
distance of the ball between the gemstones.Opal gems require a little extra care compared
to fine gemstones and other gemstones but the uniqueness of opal is worthy of attention.
By other stones and hard objects
The opal chosen for cutting the stone contains a water element that is present in the stone
and it proves to be stable and safe. These opals should not be changed from the “water
loss” of the opal earrings lifetime. There is no need to soak an opal in water or oil and that
comes from old rumors.The water inside the opal is frozen. In some cases, the water is
frozen in such a way that if it is taken out of the mine and kept in dry air, it can dry out and
explode. When taking care of the opal, consider it as a glass and gently clean the oil or dirt
from it with a very soft brush or cloth. Considering opal as glass, its durability is ensured if
the dishwashing powder is cleaned very carefully with soap at room temperature.
Wash and dry. This is a great time to check in and keep the stone safe and firm in setting.
Tap the ring next to your ear to hear a slight "rattle" with the hint of a loose stone.Opal can

place where the temperature does not vary too much, i.e. the place is neither too cold nor
too hot. Keeping Opal in such a place will be safe.It is like heating a stone quickly with a
flame..zap, like other stones it will break. Daily changes in temperature will be safe. Be
careful in extreme cases such as going from a sauna to a dip in a frozen pond! Such
temperature changes can damage the rocks. Everyday clothing is safe.Avoid wearing opal
and jumping in hot water from a very cold place or bathing in a cool spring from a very warm
place.Avoid doing the following things by wearing opal or do these things by avoiding opal.
Yaman ”works like rubbing sandpaper, washing dishes, washing clothes, sweeping the yard,
filling sand boxes, applying make-up and lifting make-up.The very fine particles of make-up,
like microscopic sandpaper, rub the gold so finely that the gold looks black. This is the
reason why most jewelry smokes, gold is removed by the subtle "sandpaper" effect of
makeup.Opel jewelry cannot be combined with other metallic jewelry. Fine scratches on
other metallic jewelry may not be visible at first, but gradually it will lose the luster of the
opal. As a result, the opal will lose its original attraction.
