2. The first thing that you need to do is focus on whom you are
purchasing the item from - it has to be a knowledgeable
jeweller or dealer. Only a pro would be able to offer you the
right care advice.
3. If your jewellery is an
opal triplet or doublet,
be careful when
cleaning it using
detergent and hot
water.
4. Oils found in face creams
can affect opal jewellery
by building around the
ring in which the stone is
contained, giving it an
unsightly appearance.
5. Make sure you are not
wearing the item while
gardening.
6. In case your opal
gets scratched,
make sure to get it
re-polished by the
jeweller from whom
you bought it.
7. Never place the
stone under a
strong light for a
prolonged period of
time, as the heat
from the
illumination might
lead to cracks.
