Featured Opal Rings
The products below represent some of the more exceptional opal rings available on the market today.
Finding a Fantastic Opal Ring
The first step to finding a fantastic opal ring is to understand what qualities are desirable in a valuable opal stone. Opal rings are unlike gemstone jewelry in that the centerpiece is not a cut and polished gem. The four attributes of opals which are most important in determining its quality are patterns, color, shape, and clarity.
The patterns seen in an opal ring are a vivacious swirl of different colors which are unique to each particular stone. Different people will have different preferences as to what constitutes the best combination of color and pattern. While more colors generally tends to make the opal ring more alluring, this is not always the case. Some of the most amazing opal rings rely on the bold brilliance of two rich colors.
An opal ring which uses a dome shaped stone will be able to display more brilliance than one with a flat stone. When opal is used as the centerpiece, this is generally the shape which is used. Inlaid opal tends to be flat, and provides amazing accents to other kinds of rings.
The opal ring should have high clarity to be a quality product. This means that no visible inclusions should be present. Most opals have small pieces of sand in them, and this is entirely unavoidable. So long as they are not visible to the eye, they will not degrade the quality or aesthetic of the opal ring.
