We come across various types of Opals that are talked about on different online and offline marketplaces.

At a high level there are two types of Opals:

1. Precious Opals

2. Common or ordinary Opals

What broadly differentiates these two types of Opals is the play of light. In common Opals the play of light is almost absent. They are often seen as dull although they may be found and sold in larger sizes.

However, the Precious Opals display dazzling colours and glitter in every angle under different light conditions. This feature is what makes it special in the family of precious and semi-precious gemstones. Needless to say that precious Opals command higher value in the gemstone market than other types of plain coloured stones.

The types of Opals found are also differentiated by the place of the mining. By and large Australia is known for most of the world’s precious Opals. If you come across the term ‘Fire Opal’, it’s most like that it is mined in Australia. The variety of colours found in the mines of Australia are simply spectacular. Also, the quantity of Opal stones mined in Australia is higher than any other part of the world.

The suitability of the Opals varies largely by the usage of the stones or the purpose for which people choose certain gemstones. Common Opals are used in making jewellery with suggested gemstones in Astrology. They tend to be larger in size however it may not have the play of light in them which in turn, would be suitable for women’s jewellery.

The play of light in precious Opals does make it stand out, when used in jewellery. We rarely find Opal jewellery made of precious Opals at least in the context of India’s jewellery market.

This is where we make huge efforts to bring to our customers, a blend of Indian classical design language with the rare class of gemstones such as the Opals. We do this skillfully by curating the most attractive Opal stones suited for the jewellery we make.

Many a times, we get this question from our customers on what is the worth of jewellery made of Opals. The real worth of the jewellery comes from the fact that this gemstone is mined in very few locations of the world, of which Australian Opals have a special place in terms of value attached to it. The Australian Opals largely vary in quality and colour when compared to its counterparts in Africa or Europe making it one of the most sought after gemstones in the world.

Opal ornaments are indeed luxury jewellery no matter which precious metal the stones are set in. They are pretty much on par with other well known gemstones available in the market today.

Opals do have the ‘flaunt factor’.

Diamonds and Opals are often spoken about in the same light. The simple fact is that both these stones are gorgeous and at the same time intriguing in terms of ornamental value they create for the wearer. Both these stones’ value is judged by the colour that each stone shows.

Let’s now look at a few qualities of each of these stone types.

Diamond:

- Diamonds are clearly more popular going by the historical records and texts available informing of the value and rarity of these stones.

- Diamond is a Hard stone, which is why many people value it high. We have also come across the utility of this stone which is in many industrial applications including manufacturing sound equipment with diamonds in its components, diamonds used in tools for industrial cutting, healthcare equipment, heat sinks to absorb heat etc

- The dazzle factor when its worn as an ornament is probably unparalleled, making the Diamond one of the most attractive and beautiful gemstones when used in jewellery.

- Diamonds need cutting and processing to bring out the shine factor.

- The most commonly available Diamond is the white or transparent Diamond. However there are the more exotic and expensive shades as well like the Pink and Blue Diamonds.

- Diamonds are mined in every continent of the world.

- There are many legends we have known about Diamonds, in some cases it’s known for ill effects as well. Some of these stones are known to hold certain powers according to a few tales from the past.

- It’s well known that Diamonds could get quite expensive to own as the price goes up with the size one chooses.

Opal:

- Although Opal is a soft stone, it has gone through millions of years of formation that gives its streak of wonderous colours.

- No other Gemstone probably contains as many colours as the Opal. This unique quality of the Opal makes it suitable for making stunningly beautiful ornaments. However some people prefer a milky white Opal stone colour for various reasons. In a very colourful Opal, one could find shining spots of multiple colour shades.

- Opals show their colours and glitter even without cutting and processing, making it naturally beautiful.

- Opals are mined in very few locations of the world and a majority of the world’s Opals come from Australia making it a very rare Gemstone indeed.

- Opals have been mentioned in historical scriptures world over. They have been praised for their qualities like generally bringing good health for the wearer and beauty of colours in a stone.

- Opals are pretty much used for just one purpose- i.e, making of stunning jewellery along with precious metals that add more value to its already beautiful looks.

- A sizeable Opal could be affordable depending on the colour and quality of the stone.

Whatever may be the reason for choosing a Gemstone to wear, one could never go wrong with the choice one makes in these gemstones. Each type means its own value to the wearer of the jewellery made of these gemstones.
