Why Choose Lab Created Opal for Your Silver Jewelry
Lab created opals form through a process that replicates natural opal growth. Silica spheres stack in orderly layers, diffracting light into the reds, blues, and greens that make opal distinctive. Because the growth environment stays controlled, these stones often show brighter, more uniform color play than many mined specimens. Lab opals rate between 5.5 and 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, similar to their natural counterparts. Our lab created opal jewelry collection includes rings, earrings, pendants, and bracelets sized for daily wear or occasional use. The sterling silver settings protect each stone while letting light enter from multiple angles. Silver and opal pair well together because the metal's cool tone enhances the stone's spectral colors without competing for attention. SilverRush Style has offered sterling silver jewelry with genuine and lab created stones since 2005. Every piece ships free within the US. Browse the collection to find lab created opal jewelry that fits your style and budget.What is the difference between lab created opal and natural opal?
Both contain hydrated silica and display similar optical properties. Lab created opals grow in controlled settings over months rather than forming underground over millions of years. This results in more consistent color patterns and fewer natural inclusions.
How durable is lab created opal jewelry?
Lab created opals measure 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. They work well in earrings and pendants. Rings require more care since hands contact surfaces throughout the day. Remove opal rings before heavy manual work.
How should I clean lab created opal jewelry?
Use a soft cloth dampened with water. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, and prolonged heat exposure. Store opal pieces separately to prevent scratching from harder stones.
