You might not realise it, but there's a lot more to Australian opals than meets the eye. Beyond their beautiful beauty and entrancing colour play, opals have a rich history and interesting ideas about their significance and therapeutic properties. The opal brings mythology from all around the world with it.
It was formerly considered the most valuable and sought-after stone in the Roman Empire. For generations, nobility and royalty have decked themselves with rare and black opals. Opals were described in Greek mythology as the stone production of Zeus' tears after defeat.
Choosing an Australian Opal Engagement Ring:
Opals represent loyalty in eternal love, as well as hope and knowledge to perceive what is genuine and beautiful.
- Unique in its own way:
Each opal is unique, with varying amounts of brilliance and colour mixes. Your opal engagement ring will be one-of-a-kind and hard to precisely recreate. Because of its dynamic nature, each diamond is unique, even when cut from the same raw gem material.
- Uncommon and elusive:
High-quality opals are incredibly uncommon, and your fiancée is unlikely to meet another opal engagement ring wearer. Precious opals provide an opportunity to wear something unique and distinct from the traditional diamond jewels used in engagement rings.
- Precious but powerful:
Australian opals are the most durable of the precious opal family tree's top-quality opals. Australian opals are sedimentary stones formed over millions of years in Cretaceous rocks, making them the toughest and most enduring types. Natural boulder opals with a natural ironstone background are the most durable.
