Opal, a stone of dazzling colors
A rare and mystical stone, opal comes in a multitude of varieties and hues: it's most commonly found in white, with soft, luminous reflections, but you can also find pink, black, blue and even multicolored ones, which fascinate by their ability to change hue slightly depending on angle and light.
In lithotherapy, opal has many spiritual and emotional virtues. In particular, it is reputed to stimulate intuition and sensations, and foster inspiration. Opals are considered the strongest soul stones. The more intense the opal's colors, the more the stone's qualities are revealed. Wearing an opal ring is like wearing a talisman, both protective and inspiring.
October birthstone
Opal is also the birthstone associated with the month of October, making it a perfect gift for those born during this month. Wearing an opal ring as a birthstone is said to enhance a person's natural energies and qualities. Whether it's for a birthday or a special occasion, giving a ring adorned with an opal is a symbolic and elegant way of celebrating the person and their journey.
Opal is also considered the stone of the 14th wedding anniversary, representing the purity of feelings and the solidity of the marriage bond. Its ability to reflect an infinite range of colors is often compared to the multiple facets of a relationship, in constant evolution. As such, an opal ring can be a magnificent gift to reaffirm vows of love or celebrate a life-changing moment.

How to wear an opal ring
The opal ring can be worn in many different ways and easily adapted to different styles. Depending on your preferences, you can wear it on the ring finger to symbolize a strong emotional bond, or on the index finger to catch the eye. Its subtle color and mysterious reflections blend well with silver jewelry, which emphasizes its brilliance without distracting attention. For a warmer style, it combines elegantly with gold accessories, which provide a harmonious contrast to the opal's nuances.
If you like to combine several rings, we recommend opting for transparent stones like quartz, which enhance the opal's luminosity, or dark stones like onyx to create a bold contrast. During the day, it goes well with simple outfits for a sophisticated, understated touch, while in the evening, it shines perfectly with more elegant garments, such as a classic little black dress.
The opal ring is much more than just a piece of jewelry: it's a unique and versatile piece, ideal for expressing your personality and enhancing your style, whether worn alone or with other accessories. Discover the MATY selection now and make your choice! You can also pair it with opal earrings.
