A gem fusion collab with the way too incredibly nice @sualne , where we both drew our own interpretations of what the fusion would look like.

I had so much fun doing the colours and design for this! And working with Sully was so great! 

Here is their half of the trade! Isn’t it cool!

P.S: If anyone else wants to do this kind of thing I am all for! Even if you don’t want to draw one side that’s totally cool! Just throw your gems at me and ill draw it!

What Makes the Opal Ring a Coveted Piece of Jewellery

Nowadays, the allure of the opal ring seems to be catching up with everyone. The popularity of the mystical stone continues to skyrocket every year as people continue to prefer diamond and opal rings over other varieties. Couples are also choosing these rings for engagements and weddings due to their timeless appeal and effervescent charm.

Going beyond conventional styles, a diamond opal ring has become a fashion statement. Opals are bold and bright, and they can express almost every colour. Sometimes, it flaunts multiple hues in a single stone, making it even more coveted and attractive. The opal’s natural structure allows it to reflect different colours when viewed from varied angles.

How To Determine the Value of Opals

The value of opals is generally determined by their size, colour, body tone, quality and brilliance. While black opals are considered the most valuable, the boulder opals, milky and pale gemstones rank thereafter. The cut and the polish of the stone are also important criteria for determining its value. The cost of opals also depends on the carat size.

Formed by a mixture of water and silicon dioxide, opals are formed in nature over a prolonged period. The gemstone represents faithfulness, confidence, self-esteem and creativity – a comprehensive reflection of positivity. As a result, women particularly, consider it as a coveted possession that can be used for special occasions such as weddings and engagements.

Use of Opal in Different Types of Jewellery

Apart from opal rings, women are also choosing unique jewellery collections featuring opal stones. Online jewellery stores are selling different types of pendants, bracelets, earrings and necklaces with this amazing stone. If you want something exceptional, these can certainly be a part of your collection.

Black, white, blue and fire opals are available in different price ranges. Whether you want to buy these for yourself or want to gift them to someone, it is an excellent choice. To keep opal in perfect condition, solid opals must be cleaned with mild detergent and a soft cloth or toothbrush. However, you should never immerse opal jewellery in water or expose it to chemicals.

Pretty Opal Ring Dos and Don'ts

Did you know that Opal rings are ideal for Libras born in October. Scales, the sign's emblem, signify balance and may be observed in opals as a pleasing evenness. The stones are intricate, yet they're still neutral enough to go with various jewels. Opals are a classic and timeless gemstone. They're translucently open, yet there's also a sense of whirling mystery about them. They've been regarded as mystical throughout history, in part because of their ability to display all hues. Opal rings are not exclusive to Libras.

If you're ready to start shopping for diamond and opal rings, here is some maintenance advice and suggestions for choosing the perfect opal ring design.

Make Opal Rings with Colourful Gemstones Mixed In.

The Dez Opal to Rainbow Halo Ring shows how opals sparkle the brightest when encircled by multi colored gemstones. In this Cluster Opal Ring, opal is a delicate compliment for a dazzling emerald.

Do Not Wear Your Opal Ring While Doing Hard Hands-On Work.

Though a diamond opal ring is beautiful, it is more fragile than rough diamonds and sapphires. These are easily chippable. A diamond or sapphire can be a preferable gemstone for an engagement ring you wear every day if you work with your hands a lot or know you're rough on them. An opal or other gemstone can be cracked, scratched, or scuffed quite readily, depending on how often it is worn.

This particular blend brings out different tones in the opal, and while it's not as bright as the rainbow, it does have an intriguing colour play. The subtlety of the side stones, on the other hand, helps the opal sparkle even more."

Buy Opals from Ethical Sources.

Ensure the firm you're buying your opal rings from sources opals from an Ethiopian mining cooperative that ensures the operation helps the local population. Miners primarily employ hand tools and operate near the surface, resulting in a minimal environmental effect. The opals are cut and polished in a reputable establishment.

Do Not Soak or Expose Your Opal Ring to Water, Chemicals or Extreme Heat.

Opals are permeable as well as softer than diamonds. Consequently, a good idea to clean opal jewellery by immersing it completely in water may not be so good. Instead, use a soft, moist towel and refrain from using chemical cleaners. Ethiopian opals are unique among opal kinds in that they cannot be wet without causing harm. It's crucial to remove your ring before engaging in activities that might harm it and when the weather is extremely hot or cold. While exposed to sudden temperature fluctuations, such as when cleaning the dishes or bathing, opals are prone to breaking. Because opals are delicate, porous and brittle stone, they can become discoloured due to a variety of factors such as exposure to water, soap, perfume, cleaning solutions and heat.

You can compare Opals are similar to sponges. They'll just take it in if you use a strong chemical or excessively hot water. That will damage the colour play and whatever flash your opal may have.

Fire Opal - A Cool Stone With Lots of Heat

All blue fire opals are made of silicon dioxide and water. The amount of water varies and determines the fragility of the individual stone. This gemstone is formed when silicon dioxide becomes wet and turns to a gel. This gel substance then works its way into the open spaces between rocks and caves. As it sets, an opal is formed.

Typically, the gemstone retains about 10% water content which makes it quite soft and delicate. They also come in a variety of colors-shades of blue, green, pink, black, white, red, yellow and orange. This stone is coveted for its play of color which is the dazzling display of color as light bounces off the spheres of silica.

The fire opal is one gemstone that is less desired for its play of color as it is for its actual color. As the name implies, this stone is afire with reds, yellows and oranges. Finding a fire opal pendant with hot shades as well as play of color offers the best of both worlds.
