Jaubalet Care – Opal Ring
Scratch Precaution
The opal ring is elegant beauty and a delicate piece of jewellery. As it is partly made of water, it must be ensured that it is kept away from drying out by cleaning it with lukewarm water, while using liquids and a soft brush. It should be protected from shocks and rubbing with other minerals. It is best to avoid exposure to sunlight and any chemicals. To keep it in its best quality, wrap it in a slightly damp cloth protecting it from scratches and dehydration.
Cleaning the opal ring
Bring your opal back to a professional opal cutter if it loses its lustre or becomes scratched. Small scratches and scuff marks over time cause an opal to lose its lustrous sheen and become dull. Professional polishing may bring a dull or damaged opal back to life, and we can also check for claw damage and assure the setting's security.
