Although opal is a unique gemstone, it can be used to make almost all types of jewelry. We all know that there are opal pendants, opal rings, opal earrings and many more, but opals, unlike other stones like diamonds and rubies, can be made into special types of jewelry.There is a species of opal from Australia called Corvette and it is an unusual type of stone compared to the Australian black opal. It is mostly a reddish, dark brown iron rock with random opal slashes. A jeweler you can't imagine doing too much,But just drill a hole through it and attach a thick chain or a cheap leather thread and it makes a gorgeous chunky necklace and it looks great for men as well as women. Then there are boulder opals which often come as pieces of opal naturally attached to iron rocks or sandstone.

The opal stone is dull and may not have any fire associated with the gemstone opal but when we look at it closely it has a pattern that may look like a sea view or a mountain range view or all sorts of other things. It can be something you just want to look at and imagine seeing all sorts of things. Try it with a diamond! The beauty of such a part is that it is not gem quality and very cheap.I like jewelry because it is not only cheap to buy but people ask questions about it when you wear it and they want to inspect it up close. It started a great conversation. You never ask people if they can see your topaz ring. They never say
But with a কো 40 necklace of cheap corvette or boulder opal you will ask strangers what kind of stone it is and where it came from.Then there are my favorite opal inlay jewelry. Beautiful pieces of crystal opal are set on the metal of rings, earrings and pendants. The opal is finished off the flush with the surrounding metal. We often see it with annoying rocks such as onyx and other layers with very few colored minerals.When you make inlay opal jewelry you usually use high quality opal and the results are great.You can place almost any other gemstone next to it and it will enhance the part of the jewelry. Opals with diamond accents will always look stunning. Conversely, you can inlay opals on each side of a pink topaz or emerald main stone and then you can have a bright item of jewelry. The opal can be inlaid, prong set or bezel set. These can be glued in places where other stones will not look so attractive.A comforting aspect of an opal ring is that the stone will be mined by a group of single men or women living in harsh conditions outside of Australia. There are no big companies involved and no forced labor. It is the labor of love. Think about ruby and other stone cutting that is often done by school children.An opal cutter like me and I enjoy doing this hard work and I have never met an opal cutter who is not fond of opal so there is a kind of love attached to these stones from the underground man to the middle wife or enthusiastic careful stone cutting and polishing.
