Variations may occur. Handmade in NYC; treat with care Opals are often called a "living gem." They are soft and porous, and oils from skin, makeup, and perfume can darken or yellow their color. To maintain their luster, store your opals in a soft pouch, preferably in a dark space.  If you notice the color of your opals darkening, wash them with unscented soap and water and let them dry naturally. Do not expedite drying by placing in the sun or using a hairdryer, as sudden temperature changes may cause natural opals to crack.
