More than a beautiful piece
A different angle.
Another little discovery.
Precious opal’s play-of-color can change as you move the stone and the light. Other opals offer a quieter body color. See the exact piece from different angles and let its individual appearance lead the choice.
At David’s, discover vintage, antique and modern designs with details that reward a closer look. See each listing for the piece’s own story and specifications.
Discover the details ↗A little knowledge
Opal, at a glance.
Four details behind a beautiful discovery.
The effect
Play-of-color.
Precious opal can show shifting flashes of spectral color. Not every opal displays this effect.
The material
Hydrated silica.
Opal’s structure and water content distinguish it from many familiar crystalline gems.
OpalA closer look
Scratch hardness
About 5 to 6.5.
Opal needs gentle wear and protection from scratches, impact and excessive heat.
The birthstone
An October favorite.
Opal is one of October’s birthstones, alongside tourmaline.

A little knowledge, a better choice
What makes
a piece yours?
You do not have to know every gemstone term to make a thoughtful choice. Start with these four questions.
See it move.
Ask for video in ordinary light. Look at the color from several angles, not only its brightest photograph.
Know the construction.
Ask whether it is a solid opal, a doublet or triplet, an inlay, or a manufactured material.
Ask about condition.
Check for chips, cracks or crazing and any known treatment. The setting and backing also matter.
Match the piece to your routine.
A pendant may receive fewer knocks than a ring. Choose a design you can wear with appropriate care.
How to make it yours
A little character. Entirely you.
Ideas to wear, pair and enjoy your next discovery.
LOOK 01
Give the light some room.
A pendant against a plain neckline lets shifting color be the detail you notice.
Explore the possibilities ↗LOOK 02
Choose one expressive accent.
An opal ring brings character to a simple outfit. Take it off for work that risks hard knocks.
Explore the possibilities ↗LOOK 03
Pair softly.
Cream, muted blue and warm gold can complement opal without competing with its changing appearance.
Explore the possibilities ↗For a milestone. For someone. For you.
October’s birthstone. A color story to give.
For an October birthday or someone who enjoys an unexpected flash of color, opal can be a thoughtful choice. Its appeal begins with the individual piece and the care it deserves.

Read the story ↗Good to know
A few good questions.
Which month is associated with opal?
Opal is one of the birthstones for October. You can also choose it simply because you love it. Read more on David’s ↗
What should I ask before choosing a piece?
Opal listings may describe natural solid stones, assembled doublets or triplets, treated material, or manufactured alternatives. Ask which applies, whether any backing or adhesive is present, and what is known about treatments and condition. These details affect both care and comparison. Read more on David’s ↗
How should I care for it?
Use gentle surface cleaning with lukewarm water and mild soap only when suitable for the exact piece. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners, heat and sudden temperature changes. Do not soak assembled doublets, triplets or glued pieces; ask about their construction before cleaning. Read more on David’s ↗
