Please explore our opal jewelry collection below!

The lure of opal jewelry is not just its base color of black or white, but the sparkling, borealis -like flashes of red, blue, green and rainbow-colored effects, that flash like mini-light shows, from these semi-transparent stones. The different colors seen in opals are caused by the arrangement of the hydrated silica spheres that opals are composed of.

Opals are the birthstone for October, and the Fourteenth Wedding Anniversary stone. Opal jewely portends a glimpse of a lengthy, happy marriage and thus, a long life, as well, because myths support affirmative aspects of the opal. Ancient folklore symbolized the opal as the stone of fidelity and assurance, religious emotion and prayer. The Romans believed opal jewelry to be a symbol of hope because the colors of the rainbow were reflected in the gemstone.
