Is a Opal Engagement Ring Really the Best Option

 Engaged couples are increasingly looking for less obvious options when it comes to their engagement rings. These modern couples aren't impressed with diamond rings and want something that stands out, as well as better represents them. Opal engagement rings are a great choice if you're one of these couples. These rings feature opal gemstones as the center, and they are simply stunning.

The first thing that you will notice about these opal engagement rings is their color. To be more specific, the colors. You might be aware that opal is the only gem in the world capable of producing every color from one stone. This has led to much confusion about the opal gemstone. Scientists and others were not able to understand how the amazing display of colors could occur in this gemstone. The opals are composed of microscopic silica spheres arranged in an ordered network. The light that passes through stone can be diffracted into many colors.

No matter which opal you choose for your opal engagement ring, you must know the gem's flaws. The hardness scale is used to determine the gemstone's hardness. Opals rank between a low-ish 5.5 and 6 on this scale. Diamonds rank at 10 on the hardness scale. You should be extra careful because opals are more susceptible to cracking and chipping. However, if you can overlook that flaw and are careful with your ring, you will make an incredible choice. These gemstones are absolutely perfect.

The best thing about all opal rings for engagement is the color play. This happens because light breaks through the tiny spheres made of silica, which are arranged in an ordered network. It results in a wide range of colors. There are many types of opals that you can choose from, so there's no one type. These include Black Opal, White Opal, or Crystal Opal,
and Boulder Opal.

There is one downside to opal engagement rings. These rings may not be as strong and durable as traditional options. The MOHS, or the harness scale that measures these gemstones, shows that opals only rank between 5.5 and 6 depending on their type. You can see how opals are less durable than diamonds, which average a solid 10. You can still make an incredible and unique engagement ring if you're willing to do the work.

What is a Aquamarine Engagement Ring?

  The diamond-set engagement rings remain the most popular.   But aquamarine engagement rings can be just as stunning and often even more unique than the traditional diamond.   Aquamarine, a gemstone, is part of the same precious family as the emerald.   Aquamarines are not like emeralds which can be proven authentic with small flaws. However, you will rarely see flaws with your naked eyes. Because the aquamarine gemstone can be found in both light and deep blues, you can find engagement rings made of it.   Although the natural one is greener, the gemstone will turn a true blue color after it has been heating treated.   While the deeper blue versions will be more expensive than the lighter ones, they can still look stunning and elegant. Your light blue aquamarine engagement rings may not be as durable in direct sunlight as they might be in the indirect sun, as they can lose some of their colors.   This is not true for deep blues.   They are a solid 7-8.5 on the hardness scale (a refere
