  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Usually opals with darker tones are worth more than those with lighter or white tones because the colors are more vibrant in darker opals. White opals are more common than their darker colored counterparts. Good quality white opals can be worth up to around $148 USD per carat, while black opals can fetch as much as $11,000 USD or more per carat.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2023
    Yes, an opal engagement ring can last if you care for it properly. Generally, opals are more delicate than other gemstones commonly used in engagement rings, like diamonds, sapphires and emeralds. As a result, they can be easily damaged, making it important that you take your ring off before performing household chores, exercising, playing sports or doing other activities where you'll use your hands a lot. Find a collection of opal engagement rings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
    No, opals aren't bad for engagement rings. One drawback of the gemstone is that it isn't as hard as many other popular gems, like diamonds, emeralds and sapphires, so it may be more susceptible to scratches. However, you can still choose an opal engagement ring if you wish. Taking it off before you engage in activities that could damage the ring can help extend its life. Shop an assortment of opal engagement rings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    No, you cannot wear an opal ring everyday. Since they are relatively fragile compared to other stones, opals are not durable for daily-wear.

    Dover JewelryFebruary 24, 2021
    Not recommended! Opals are more delicate then other gemstones and if cared for correctly will last a lifetime and can be handed down throughout generations.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    One carat of fire opal can be worth as little as $50 or as much as $10,000. The value depends on the quality and origin. For instance, Mexican and Australian fire opals are generally more expensive than fire opals from other countries.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    No, opal is not good for engagement rings. Although opal is a beautiful stone, it is not the best choice for an engagement ring. Since they are relatively fragile compared to diamonds and sapphires, opals are not durable for daily wear.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To see if your black opal is real, check the potch on the back. Double-sided opals are rare, so if there is a lack of potch and color all the way through, this could indicate a fake. Shop a collection of expertly vetted opals from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Although opals were considered good luck in Roman culture and a symbol of good luck, there are many legends that link opals with death and bad omens.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 14, 2023
    Yes, opal can be good for wedding rings. Many people love the unique coloration of opals and opt for wedding rings set with them. One thing to keep in mind is that opals are more delicate than many other gemstones like sapphires, rubies and diamonds, so they are more vulnerable to scratching and breakage. It is a good idea to remove your wedding ring before working with tools, performing chores, playing sports or engaging in other activities that could potentially damage your opal. Explore a variety of opal wedding rings on 1stDibs.
