These pieces are not overpowering, making them perfect for a laid-back look that still feels put-together.

2. Professional Poise: Opal in the Workplace

Dangle in compliments while you carry these leaf-shaped opal danglers set in 18kt white gold to your workplace or your work afterparty.

In a professional setting, opal jewellery can convey confidence and creativity. A sleek opal pendant or a pair of opal drop earrings can complement a business attire without overshadowing it. Opals are versatile enough to go with suits, dresses, and even the more business-casual blazers and blouses.

Style Tip: Choose an opal stone ring with a subtle band to add a touch of personality to your workwear. Keep the colour palette neutral to maintain professionalism.

3. Evening Glamour: Opals for Special Occasions

Two heavenly strands of opal gemstones culminate in a diamond and sapphire studded centerpiece, in this sensational 18kt yellow gold pendant necklace. Glamorous and memorable, this statement neck piece is meant to make you stand out for your impeccable style.

For those evenings where you want to make a statement, opal jewellery is your go-to. Whether it’s a gala, a sophisticated dinner, or a festive party, an opal necklace or a set of opal earrings can elevate your ensemble. The way opals capture light makes them perfect for events where you want to stand out.

Style Tip: Opt for a bold opal ring or a bracelet to complement a little black dress. The iridescent colours of the opal will catch the eye and make your outfit memorable.

4. Bridal and Formal: Opal as a Touch of Bridal Bliss

Pear-fect for the autumn/fall season, this indulgent bracelet with a pear-shaped central opal flanked by turquoise stones, is a conversation starter as much as it is a collection piece to own and cherish for your big occasions.

Opal jewellery can also be a beautiful choice for weddings, whether for the bride or as part of the bridal party’s attire. The soft glow of opal can add a romantic touch to any bridal look.

Style Tip: A bracelet or bangle for the bride can be a unique and gorgeous addition to a wedding ensemble. For bridesmaids, matching opal pendants can tie the look together beautifully.

5. Mixing and Matching: Combining Opal with Other Jewellery

Opals are versatile enough to be paired with other gemstones or metallic jewellery pieces. However, due to their unique colour play, they should be paired thoughtfully to avoid clashing.

Style Tip: Mix opal earrings with a gold or silver chain bracelet. The neutrality of the metal will complement the opal’s vibrancy without competing with it.
