Although The Hileman Collection consists of hundreds of Australian opal jewelry designs, sometimes our customers have a specific design in mind that is not available without creating a custom handmade piece of jewelry. Mark welcomes the opportunity to work with clients to create a unique custom opal jewelry design that will be treasured for generations.
Opal is often referred to as the "Queen of Gems" because unlike other gemstones, an outstanding opal can flash all the colors of the rainbow. An opal's play of color is fascinating to watch as the colors dance and shift while rotating the stone. This play of color is opal's signature characteristic and helps to make every opal a unique natural work of art.
Here are some simple instructions to keep your Australian opal inlay rings and jewelry looking great. First, never clean your opal jewelry in an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner. Chemicals and heat may negatively affect the epoxy over a period of time. Also, avoid contact with household cleaners and solvents, as they may breakdown the epoxy as well.
If you wear your favorite Australian opal ring on a regular basis, you are bound to eventually have an opal inlay section chip or lose its polish over time. Having a cracked, chipped or missing piece of opal is not the end of your ring. We are opal inlay ring repair experts and can restore your precious opal ring to like new condition.
