Many people are not aware that created Opals are actually preferred to natural opals for many jewelry applications. Natural Opal is not always well-suited to being used in jewelry since it's a relatively soft gemstone, is subject to chipping and breakage, requires regular care and maintenance, and has to be protected from sunlight and many chemicals and contaminants such as hair spray, perfumes and the like.
