Opal has intrigued and captivated society for thousands of years – the ancient Greeks believed they were the tears of Zeus and gave power and limitless possibilities to their owner, while the ancient Romans saw opal as a token of hope and purity. Even Queen Elizabeth II has a soft spot for the stone.
Today, A-list celebrities are tuning into the beauty and versatility of opal, including Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Hudson, Solange Knowles, Anna Gunn and Cate Blanchett, who chose a pair of stunning opal earrings to bring her luck at the 2014 Academy Awards (it worked - she walked away with the Best Actress Oscar for her starring role in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine).
