How can you trust that your opals are real?
Like most things in life you need to be able to trust the business that is selling you your opal jewellery. Are they only interested in getting a sale from you? If they are they may be
happy for you to think you are buying real opals. Jewellery is often displayed in a shop or on the internet as opal. In many ways they are right, it is opal but opal what? You may be
buying synthetic opal, yes it is opal and displayed as opal but it is very different from the real thing. synthetic opal has been manufactured to look like opal and often looks better than
real opal. All those lovely flashes of colour make a real piece of opal expensive and synthetic opal can mimic those lovely colours flashes at a fraction of the price.
Recently, I noticed some gold opal bracelets for sale on a search engine alongside opal bracelets that we sell at Lyre Studio. They were similar in price and were made with cultured
opals. Cultured opals? What are cultured opals, I thought? It sounds really good and conjours up images of quality real opals. A quick search on google however, showed me that
cultured opals are sythentic opals or in other words man made opals. Real man made opals doesn't sound as good as cultured opals , does it?
