Exquisite, Stylish, & Hand-Crafted Opal Jewelry
Opal jewelry is always eye-catching and a pleasure to wear. The traditional birthstone of October, the opal exhibits a gem quality known as color play. As light enters the opal, it bends around the edges of chips of silicon and oxygen suspended in water within the stone. When it is diffracted, the light produces a rainbow of colors. It is a non-crystalline variety of quartz. Most of the supply of white precious opals come from Australia.
Because the opal contains a rainbow of color, ancient people thought it was a gift from the heavens and that it had magical powers.
Harlequin opals show their light patterns in a checkerboard pattern. The jelly opal is translucent, devoid of the color play and has a blue and yellow sheen. The black opal is a term for any opal with a dark body color when viewed face front and they are very highly prized. Fire opals are clear, usually a vivid red-orange and usually faceted. They are found in the Yucatan in Mexico.
