Opals are a semi-precious gemstone known for their iridescent display of rainbow-like hues. They are very soft and can be easily damaged if not properly cared for.

To care for your opal jewelry, avoid direct contact with water to prevent cracking. Opals are very porous, and any contact with water may temporarily cause the stone to change colors. Avoid other liquids like perfumes, soaps, cleaning products, lotion, cosmetics, and excessive sweat. If an opal accidentally becomes wet, simply dry the opal with a soft microfiber cloth and let it air dry for 24 hours. Any water absorbed will naturally leave, and its play of color should be restored to its previous state without cracking.
Avoid extreme changes in temperature, as this can cause opals to fracture. Remove while doing any kind of manual labor to avoid chipping.
