What Kind of Opals Go Best with Flowers?
What Kind of Flowers Go with Opals? (Not Your Sad Grocery Store Carnations)Opals: the moody, magical rock stars of the gemstone world. They don’t just sparkle — they shimmer, they sulk, they throw rainbows across a room like they’re getting paid for it. So if you're wondering what kind of flowers go with an opal, please know this:
you’re not just tossing any old daisies next to them and calling it a day.
Opals deserve better. You deserve better. And if you’re wearing a jaw-dropping piece from Sheila Marie Opals, you need flowers that match that main-character energy. Let’s discuss.
Rule #1: No Basic BlossomsIf you even think about pairing a creamy white opal with a sad, droopy supermarket bouquet, I need you to sit down, drink some water, and rethink your life choices. Opals need drama. They need texture. They need flowers that look like they could have been picked by a slightly unhinged Victorian poet.
Think:
Rule #2: Color Match with Intentional ChaosOpals don’t follow "the rules," and neither should your flower pairings. You’re not coordinating prom corsages here; you’re creating vibes. If your opal has flashes of blue, green, and red, you have two options:
Rule #3: Wild is Better Than NeatOpals are imperfect, mysterious, and a little wild — just like anyone interesting enough to wear them. Your flower arrangement should feel a little untamed. Toss in some eucalyptus, some twisty branches, a thistle or two if you're feeling extra. If it looks like it was assembled by a particularly artistic woodland witch?
Nailed it.
(Extra points if you’re holding that bouquet while wearing a glittering Sheila Marie Opals pendant. Just saying.)
Final ThoughtsChoosing flowers to match your opal jewelry isn’t about "what's traditional" — it's about attitude. Pick blooms that feel lush, strange, maybe even a little reckless. Because opals aren’t boring — and neither are you.
So go ahead. Give your opals the messy, dramatic floral moment they deserve. And if anyone criticizes your choices, just remind them:
Opals flash fire. Carnations just sit there. And when you’re ready for an opal that actually deserves a starring role in your life, you know where to find me: Sheila Marie Opals.
