FAQs

Opal jewellery gained immense popularity during the Victorian and Art Nouveau eras, valued for the stones iridescent play-of-colour. Drop and dangle designs were crafted to catch the light and display the spectral hue shifts as the wearer moved.

These pieces are typically constructed from solid yellow, rose, or white gold, often in 9ct or 18ct purity. Natural solid opals, doublets, or triplets are set using bezel or claw mounts to secure the gemstone.

Authentic gold features official hallmarks indicating metal purity, such as 375 for 9ct gold. Natural opals display irregular, non-repeating colour patterns throughout the stone, unlike synthetic versions which exhibit uniform, directional flashes.

Drop earrings can be worn as focal pieces alongside minimalist gold chains or paired with simple contemporary tailoring to allow the iridescent stones to stand out.

Opals contain natural water content and require protection from extreme heat, dry environments, and harsh chemicals. Clean them gently using a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners.
