These reflect light at angles that create flashes and color shifts depending on how you move. Each piece is unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is opal fragile?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: It's more delicate than quartz or jade. Avoid sudden temperature changes, chlorine, and perfumes. Store dry. With normal care, it lasts a lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why .950 silver instead of .925?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: .950 is purer (95% pure silver vs. 92.5%), hypoallergenic, and whiter. For delicate stones like opal, purer silver provides better setting and longer-lasting mountings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo You Have Silver You No Longer Wear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOld silver, unmatched earrings, heirlooms sitting unused—we buy it back.
