Opal Ring

Talk about opal and you will think about those color specks and flashes seen in the gemstone. White opal with visible color play is one of the most desired opal gem. There was a time when Australia was the only source for white opal, closer to our times we saw Ethiopia coming on the scene in a big way. Having said that, there is no doubt that Australian opals always carry a premium price tag. The RG211 opal ring from Kaisilver, has a handpicked and custom cut white opal gem from the Australian mines. The ring is gorgeous, we have incorporated many features to add durability to the jewel. 

Knowledgeable gem lovers adore opals, they see a unique beauty in the gemstone that is impossible to find in any other gemstone. It is believed that the gemstone gets its name from the Sanskrit word 'upala' which means, precious stone. Some historians claim that, it was the Greek word 'opallios' that gave opal its name. The Greek word translates into 'change of color'. Interestingly the Romans had their own name for the gemstone, they called it 'opalus'. 

If you look at this opal diamond ring from different directions, the pattern of the color play is dynamic and it keeps shifting around the stone. This was probably why the Greeks called it 'opallios' meaning, changing colors. It takes an expert gem cutter to get the best out of a piece of opal. The piece of rough opal needs to be oriented at the right angle before, the first cut is made. Just remember that the colors seen on the white opal are more of an illusion, so the portion that best shows the effect needs to be retained during the cutting process. If you got a bit scientific, you would refer to the color play seen on opal as 'opalescence'.

As you will see from the image of the RG211 opal diamond ring, the color play or flashes seen on the white opal gemstone are one of the big attractions in  the ring. Let us understand how the color play effect comes into plan on opal gemstones. The internal structure of opal is made up of numerous microscopic spheres, these are densely packed next to each other. An amazing fact is that, these spheres that form the opal contain a percentage of moisture. When light strikes the opal, the light enters the stone and hits these spheres. The moisture that is present in them refracts the light, this is what causes those fancy colors.  We had explained the that the color play effect is dynamic, it seems to change when seen from different angles. You can now see why this happens. 

You now know that the gemstone in your opal ring has some amount  of moisture, you also know that this moisture is important for the gem to display that gorgeous color play effect. It is therefore easy to understand that, anything that destroys the water content in an opal should be avoided.  Ensure that you opal and diamond ring is never exposed to heat sources. Strong chemicals and corrosive elements can also damage an opal. 

Many of us wear a gemstone because of some special belief or historic tradition. A classic example of this is birthstones, the origin of this practice can be traced back to several centuries. Opal is the birthstone for the month of October, the gemstone has a special meaning to those born in that month. Opal is often referred to as the 'visionary stone' wearing it is supposed to bring keen analytic skills to the wearer. Crystal healers often refer to opal as the gemstone that gives hope and motivation.
