The first documented record of the opal was by Pliny (61AD) who gave its source as a volcanic deposit located in what is now Slovakia. Wearing a piece of jewelry with such an ancient history is awe-inspiring. Opals are also associated with good luck and fortune. The Romans believed that opals were a sign of good luck and so the Roman Emperor used opals in their crowns in order to protect them from disease. It is believed that the Roman's used opals from Ethiopia but this still open to conjecture.
In the Middle Ages it was believed that opals had the power to make people invisible and Aborigines in Australia are afraid of opals because they associate it with the Rainbow Serpent.
Through time and across continents, the opal has been perceived to have mystical powers. Whether or not you believe in its magical powers it remains an extremely popular gemstone which looks stunning in any form of jewelry.

Opals are less robust than other gemstones. This doesn't mean that they can't be worn whenever you want, but just means that they need a little care to keep them looking their best.
Opals don't handle changes in temperature well, so it is best to keep your oval necklace in a neutral environment which doesn't experience any extremes of temperatures. When not wearing your opal necklace, store it in a small plastic bag with a damp cloth. This is to help it to retain its natural moisture and to prevent it from drying out and cracking.
Try to avoid getting creams or perfumes on your opal necklace. If you do simply wipe the residue off with a damp cloth. Above all, never wear your opal bracelet if you are playing sports or gardening. This is because opals can be scratched by hard particles. If they receive a bang the opal may crack.
Take care of your opal necklace and you will enjoy its beauty and elegance for many years to come.
