Why choose an opal engagement ring? And our hand-picked collection

While a lot of newly-engaged couples are showing their diamond engagement rings to the world, those who prefer unconventional rings are turning to opal engagement rings.


An opal engagement gold anxiety ring is unique as well as playful due to its striking fire and color change effect. They are a great choice for those who aim to be special and nontraditional.


Hyuna and Dawn's opal and diamond engagement ring

In February this year, K-pop star Hyuna posted her engagement ring on Instagram and it became a hot topic on the social media.


Her engagement ring is very unconventional. It is made of white gold, with opal as the main stone and 7 diamonds of different shapes and colors as side stones.


So what's attractive about opal engagement rings?


It is playful: Opal can flash in almost any color on it own

As the world's sixth most precious stone, opal was once described by Shakespeare as "the queen of gems", known for its special color change effect.


In fact, throughout most of human history, opal has been considered the luckiest and most amazing gemstone thanks to its excellent capability to present almost any color of the rainbow on it own.


In 75 AD, the Roman scholar Pliny pointed out: “Some opali carry such a play within them that they equal the deepest and richest colors of painters. Others…simulate the flaming fire of burning sulphur and even the bright blaze of burning oil.”


He was very amazed. On this kaleidoscope-like gem, you can see the color of rubies, amethysts, emeralds and many more. It is colorful, playful and beautiful.


Indeed, opal is known as the palette of gemstones, thanks to its special color-changing effect.


It is one of a kind: Each opal stone has a unique and changeable fire

In addition to being playful, another distinguishing feature of opal is that each color is unique due to its intense and changeable fire. It is almost impossible to find another identical opal.


From this point of view, it is even more "unique" than diamonds. That is why now more and more people are choosing opal engagement rings for their special day. Hyuna is one of them.


Opal engagement ring meaning

What does an opal engagement ring mean? Opal is said to mean love, passion, hope and creativity, which makes an opal engagement ring the perfect representation of a passionate relationship with sparkle and glow.
