Opal Engagement Rings: Frequently Asked Questions

Are opal engagement rings durable enough for everyday wear?

Opals are softer than diamonds (5.5-6.5 Mohs scale) and require mindful care. With protective settings (like bezel or halo) and precautions during activities, they can be suitable for regular wear. Avoid hard knocks, scratches, and harsh chemicals. They are less suited for very active lifestyles without extra care.

How should I care for my Retro Turquoise opal engagement ring?

Keep your opal beautiful with simple care:

• Clean gently: Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners.
• Store safely: Keep it separate in a soft pouch to prevent scratches.
• Avoid extremes: Protect from sudden temperature changes, high heat, and very dry conditions.
• Limit exposure: Remove when using lotions, perfumes, or cleaning agents, and during swimming/bathing.
• Wear carefully: Take it off during sports, chores, or heavy manual work.

What makes opal engagement rings so unique?

Their captivating "play-of-color" – a shifting kaleidoscope of hues – means no two opals are exactly alike. This guarantees a truly one-of-a-kind ring reflecting individual style and love story.

What should I look for when choosing an opal?

• Vibrant play-of-color: Look for bright, dynamic colors across the stone.
• Clarity & Cut: Minimize visible flaws. Choose a cut (like oval, round, pear) that showcases the color well.
• Opal Type: Consider different types (White, Black, Boulder, etc.) for varying looks and durability (Boulder opals are often more robust).
• Setting: Ensure it offers adequate protection.

Are opals a budget-friendly choice compared to diamonds?

Generally, yes. Opals often offer more size or quality for the budget compared to diamonds. However, prices vary widely based on quality (especially color play), type, size, and origin.

What are the best settings and metals for opal rings?

• Settings: Protective styles are highly recommended. Bezel settings offer maximum security. Halo settings provide a buffer and add sparkle
• Metals: Opals pair beautifully with Yellow Gold (classic/warm), Rose Gold (romantic), and Sterling Silver/White Gold (modern/cool)

Can opal rings get wet?

Brief contact (like handwashing) is usually fine for solid opals. However, avoid prolonged soaking (swimming, bathing) as opals contain water and excessive exposure can potentially cause damage over time.

Are the opals in Retro Turquoise rings real?

Yes, we use genuine, natural opals in our rings, celebrated for their inherent beauty and unique characteristics formed over millions of years
