Are you indecisive? Me too.
When it comes to things that aren’t necessarily considered to be a ‘necessity’, it can be so hard to choose the right item. It’s even harder when you want to set a budget.
Opals are increasingly becoming more and more popular for the value it has as an investment. With Black Opals in particular becoming rarer and scarce due to the declining supply available, people are looking more at Opals as a precious gemstone to love and admire for the years to come. Roughly speaking, for every 10 000 White Opals that are mined, only one Black Opal will be mined.
I personally like to spoil my family with Opal pieces for special events, like big birthdays. When I do this, I make sure that the Opal itself is valuable and that both the stone and the style is timeless in its beauty. Why? Because Opal jewellery is special and should be worn for many years.
So, here are some questions that you should ask yourself to help you choose the perfect Opal piece:
- What are your options?
- Who is going to wear it?
- When and how often will it be worn?
- What do you think you will want in 10 years’ time?
- What do you think you will want in 20 years’ time?
You can keep Opals as heirlooms to pass down from generation to generation. But if you are looking more for an investment piece, we recommend that you choose the one that might be a little more expensive. Opals are priced based on their value so this is something to remember.
Opals are precious gemstones so they need to be cared for well. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t wear it everyday. To find out more about how to care for your Opal, click here to view our Frequently Asked Questions.
Fun Fact: Did you know that celebrities like Nicole Kidman and Queen Elizabeth II have previously been seen showcasing Opal pieces? Maybe this will help you if you are feeling indecisive about whether you should buy that Opal or not too 😉
