How to take care of a man-made opal ring

Man-made opal rings are usually made of man-made glass like slocum stone, spheres of silica, mixtures of natural opal chips or color glass. They have a similarity with a natural opal. Unlike natural opal rings, synthetic opal rings contain no water. Hence they are not that easy to crack. However, they may discolor if you take no care of them. Here there are some basic tips to care for a man-made opal ring.
1.Protect the man-made opal ring from direct sunlight and heat. Because the exposure to heat and sunlight will damage the materials of the synthetic opal.
2.Don’t expose the man-made opal ring to chemicals which can dull the jewelry. You should wash it with soft toothbrush in the water with vinegar or soap.
3.Dry the man-made opal ring with a soft cloth or let it air dry after you carefully rinse it with water.
4.Carefully lay your man-made opal ring in a jewelry box. Don’t tangle it with your other jewelry on the dresser.
5.Don’t wear a man-made opal ring when you are doing a heavy job. It is difficult to clear a scratch away from a synthetic opal ring.
Overall, man-made opal ring is good-looking and elegant. It also shares a close resemblance to natural opal with various rainbow markings. But with no proper care, it will discolor and become dull. Follow the above steps and tips if you want a beautiful man-made opal ring.
