How to choose opal jewelry sets
2010-07-20 16:28:25
Opal, the October birthstone, is delicate and unique among the colored gemstones. It reflects light in the depth and creates a rainbow effect. Most of the opals are round rather cut. If you want to try something different, an opal jewelry set may be a good choice. Here are some instructions as to how to choose opal jewelry sets.
1. Choose the range of colors you prefer. The beauty of an opal is in its flashes of color. The best opals have a variety of colors that widely scatter across the stone. Generally speaking, the more colors the opal shows, the more valuable it is. Reds, violets, yellow and orange are better color to present than blue and green. Grey color is not desirable in an opal.
2. Choose the background color. The basic color categories are black opal with a dark background color, and light opals including light and semi-transparent opals. Dark opals come in a variety of colors including blue, green, and red. Light opals contain the fire opals which is semitransparent with red, yellow or orange colors.
3. Choose the solid opal. Many lower priced opals are actually doublets or triplets, with a thin polished opal glued to a backing material. This kind of opal is neither desirable nor valuable. Look at the side of the opal to find out whether there is a layer.
Since you are buying a opal jewelry set, major attention should be paid to identify the quality of opals. Opal is the focus point of the jewelry. Once you choose the ideal opal, you may set your hand to choose the jewelry style that you like.
