  1. AURORA OPAL GEMSTONE CARE AND MAINTENANCE

  2. Avoid Exposure to Harsh Chemicals: Opals are relatively soft compared to other gemstones and can be damaged by exposure to chemicals found in household cleaners, cosmetics, perfumes, and hairsprays. Remove your aurora opal jewelry before using these products to prevent discoloration or deterioration. Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Opals are sensitive to sudden temperature changes, which can cause them to crack or craze (develop tiny fractures). Avoid exposing your aurora opal to extreme heat or cold, such as leaving it in direct sunlight for prolonged periods or wearing it in very cold weather. Store Properly: When not wearing your aurora opal jewelry, store it separately from other jewelry pieces to prevent scratches and damage. Ideally, store opals in a soft pouch or cloth-lined jewelry box away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Gentle Cleaning: Clean your aurora opal jewelry regularly to remove dirt, oils, and residues that can dull its appearance. Use a mild detergent diluted in warm water and a soft-bristled brush or cloth to gently scrub the gemstone. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft cloth. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners, as they can cause damage to opals. Avoid Mechanical Impact: Opals are relatively fragile and can be easily scratched or chipped by rough handling or impact. Remove your aurora opal jewelry before engaging in activities that could expose it to mechanical stress, such as sports or heavy manual labor. Professional Maintenance: Periodically, have your aurora opal jewelry inspected by a professional jeweler. They can check for loose settings, signs of wear, and any damage that may require repair. Professional cleaning and polishing can also help restore the gemstone's luster and brilliance.
