About Kyocera® Opals: The success of synthesizing opals in the laboratory has brought the beauty of opal gems to a greater number of people. The benefit of man-made opals are not only the lower costs; compared to natural opals, man-made opal is more durable with a decreased tendency to chip or crack. Yet, man-made opal is not identical to natural opal as it lacks the depth of natural opals. Despite this, man-made opals are still a great addition to your jewelry collection, as well as one of the hottest items currently on the market! Opals created by man have essentially the same chemical and physical properties as it’s natural counterpart. Most of the man-made Opals on the market today are produced by the Kyocera Corporation. While Mother Nature takes over millions of years to produce genuine opals, Kyocera of Kyoto, Japan has sped up this normal process of nature to create man-made, simulant opals in a laboratory in just months or years. These opals can be cut, shaped and polished with standard Lapidary equipment and procedures and essentially contain the same properties as natural opal gems. As natural opals are prone to cracks, there is gaining popularity in consumer markets for high quality, cost-effective man-made opals used in good quality jewelry, which allows for an unlimited range of design creations. Since these opals simultaneously display beautiful hues with translucent qualities, they can provide a diversified range of expressions when added to jewelry pieces. Care Tips: Rhodium-Plating Gives Silver Jewelry the Expensive Look of Platinum or White Gold and is the Most Tarnish-Resistant of the Platinum Group Metals.

Very Little Polishing is Required for Silver Jewelry Plated with Rhodium. On Occasion You May Want to Polish This With a Soft Cloth.
