Why Moms Secretly (or Not So Secretly) Love Opals for Mother's Day
Why Moms Secretly (or Not So Secretly) Love Opals for Mother's Day
- Wiped our tears (and other bodily fluids)
- Mastered the art of finding anything we lose
- Survived the “why” phase
- Listened to us mispronounce “spaghetti” as “pasghetti” for five solid years
1. Opals Are Like Moms—They Do Everything
You know how your mom can simultaneously cook dinner, answer the phone, and referee a sibling squabble with just her eyebrows? Opals are kind of like that. They're the multitaskers of the gem world—flashing all kinds of colors at once like a little magical disco ball made by Mother Nature herself.
2. Each Opal is One of a Kind (Just Like Her)
No two opals are exactly alike. Some have flashes of fiery red, others glow with oceanic blues and greens. It’s the gemstone equivalent of “she’s not like a regular mom, she’s a cool mom.”
And let’s be real—she deserves a gift as unique as the way she still calls you by your sibling’s name every single time.
3. They Go with Everything (Including Pajamas and Robes)
Whether she’s dressed to the nines or just trying to make it through a Zoom call without someone yelling “MOOOOOM” in the background, opals are effortlessly gorgeous. They elevate everything—yes, even that bathrobe she refuses to throw away from 1997.
4. Opals = Drama Without the Fuss
Opals bring all the flair, none of the maintenance. No polishing every other week, no constant cleaning—just shine and sparkle, kind of like how your mom somehow keeps it together when someone spills grape juice on her white couch.
5. She’ll Brag About It to Everyone (and You’ll Look Like a Genius)
Give your mom an opal and she’ll immediately become an unpaid brand ambassador.
– “Oh this? My [son/daughter] got it for me. It’s an opal.”
– “Yes, real opal. From a nice store.”
– “They’re so thoughtful.”
You? Suddenly the favorite child.
6.Okay, But Where Do You Get a Gift-Worthy Opal?
I handcraft one-of-a-kind opal jewelry that moms lose their minds over—in a good way. Whether she’s into minimalist magic or full-blown sparkle, we’ve got something that’ll make her gasp, cry, and maybe say “you shouldn’t have” (but absolutely not mean it).
