Is it okay to buy an opal for yourself?
  • Contrary to what many may think, buying an opal for yourself is wonderful and it can also be great for sharing. 
  • My customer, Mindy H. purchased an opal bracelet for herself. She loves it and has also shared that she, her daughter and granddaughter all take turns wearing it!
  • It's also thought that dealers of diamonds and other gemstones spread false rumors about opals to protect their market share. 
  • Myths about misfortune and opals started long ago. In 1829 Sir Walter Scott’s novel, Anne of Geierstein, the Baroness dies after her magical opal loses its color. The public then started thinking opals brought on bad luck. Not true.
Why Sheila Marie Opals?
  • Sterling silver, gold-filled or silk cord as the setting, chain or connector to be between you and your opals.
  • Opals found off the beaten path, one your family, friends and coworkers have never seen before. 
  • Timeless style and substance to wear a lifetime and pass down through the generations. 
  • Arrives beautifully wrapped with iridescent ribbon in a gift box.

Can I wear an opal if it's not my birthstone?

This myth has the same origins as the question above about buying it for yourself...Myths about misfortune surrounding opals started in the 1800's with popular literature telling tales of woe for those who owned opals.

It's also been speculated that dealers of diamonds and other gemstones spread false rumors to protect their market share. 

I was born in March. Some of my customers with October birthdays, but most do not. 

Are opals too fragile to wear on a regular basis?

Opals are 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, harder than turquoise, which is 5 to 6 on that scale. I wouldn't consider that delicate or fragile.

I have personally worn opals in the shower, doing housework and other tasks and have never had a problem with any opal.

I would avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and hitting them directly on hard surfaces and will serve you fine.

Can opals be worn in cold temperatures?

I live in Wisconsin where winters very easily get below zero and I have never had any problems with any opal. I wear my opals in winter and have never had an opal damaged by the cold.

I also tested all of my varieties in the freezer for two weeks, again, no damage even when I warmed them quickly in my hands.

The color and the quality of the bracelet I bought are great. Apparently my daughter and granddaughter agree because all three of us are sharing, taking turns wearing it!
