The Ultimate Guide to Buying the Perfect Opal Ring

Need help finding the perfect opal ring? Look no further. Opal rings are a timeless and elegant accessory that make a bold statement. In this handy comprehensive guide, you'll find all the tips and advice you need to purchase an exquisite piece that will shine in your jewellery collection for years to come. Plus bring you all the good luck opals are renowned for!

1. Take Your Time and Do Your Research

When it comes to buying an opal ring, it's important to not just rush into a purchase but take your time researching different styles and types of opals, and make sure you understand the unique characteristics of each so you can make the most informed decision for your needs. There are different colours, patterns, sizes and cuts, so be sure to take all these factors into consideration as well.

2. Be Specific About the Type of Opal You Want

One of the most important things to consider when shopping for an opal ring is which type of opal you prefer. Opals are categorised as solid stones, doublets or triplets. For solid opals, there are four main types available: black, crystal, white/milky and boulder. Each type has unique characteristics and qualities, such as body tones, patterns or colour variations, so be sure to look into each type and select one that best suits your needs and style preferences. Additionally, you should also be aware that certain types of opals are more valueable than others, so make sure you're fully informed before making a purchase.

Gem quality black opals from Lightning Ridge feature an array of deep, vibrant hues as well as flashes of accent colours, while crystal opals appear more transparent with bright colourful iridescence that twinkles in the presence of light. White or milky opals from South Australia typically have a pastel toned play-of-colour effect and are very affordable compared to black opals. Whereas, boulder opal from Queensland is highly sought after for its earthy ironstone matrix, unique textures and distinctive multi-coloured patterns that make each stone unique.

3. Choose the Best Quality and Cut

The quality and cut of an opal plays a huge role in determining how eye-catching, and valuable, it will be. Be sure to inspect the gemstone's clarity and colour carefully before making a purchase - cracks, inclusions and dull spots are a no-no - as each opal is unique and some may show more vivid colour and patterns than others. Likewise, there are several different cuts available - such as traditional cabochon cut rounds and ovals or even flowing freeform carved stones - so take the time to compare options and pick the one that will best showcase the opal’s beauty and your personal style.

Opals feature captivating patterns in rainbows of bright and beautiful colour, so it’s important to select one that has the tones, patterns and play-of-colour you like best. Some of the most sought-after opals have rich blue and green hues, while others stun with vivid pinks and reds. The play-of-colour is often brightest in cabochon cut opals, as the patterns rolls and shimmers across the face of the stone as it's moved around. The type of setting is also important – bezel settings tend to emphasise the depth of colour in the stone and can be a more protective setting for opal rings, while open four claw settings allow more of the stone's body to show.

4. Understand Specific Opal Characteristics

There are several important characteristics to consider when purchasing an opal ring. One of the most important is its colour as, generally speaking, stones with more vibrant colours are more valuable. Some opals can display a broad spectrum of hues and tones that change in brightness and saturation depending on the light source and its play-of-colour. A beautiful play-of-colour is one of the most desirable qualities in an opal—so be sure to inspect it carefully that colour is evenly spread around the stone and its not a directional, or one dimensional, colour before deciding on a piece!

Another important factor to consider when shopping for an opal is its body tone. This refers to the lightness or darkness of the body of the stone, and it ranges from a very dark black to milky white and transparent. For black opals you want the body tone to be as dark as possible, although any tone ranging from midnight black to a dark grey can be considered for this type of opal. For white opals the body tone should be a lovely milky white colour, and the internal colour bright with pastel pink, blue and green shades. For crystal opals, a translucent body you can see light through with shimmering fluorescent colours is optimal. 

5. Know Your Precious Metals

Once you’ve found the perfect opal, it’s important to determine the best metal for your opal ring setting. The most popular precious metals are gold and silver. Yellow and white gold are the most traditional and commonly used metals for solid opal rings - available from 9 carat to 18 carat at Black Star Opal - with more valuable opals always set in this metal. Silver is also a popular choice, however is typically used for setting opals that are more affordable. Silver settings may be rhodium plated to ensure they shine and look their best always. 

Whichever precious metal you decide on, one of the best features about opal is it suits both silver and gold coloured settings. Soft pastel tones in a milky white opal look beautiful when complemented by yellow or white gold, as do the bright and vivid colours of a black opal. It’s also important to consider personal preference, as some of you might have skin tones that look better with white gold or silver settings as opposed to yellow gold or gold plated silver.
