How to Choose an Opal Ring That Suits Your Style

An opal ring is more than a piece of jewellery—it’s a statement. Whether you're drawn to fiery reds, deep ocean blues, or pastel rainbows, there’s an opal ring that’s perfectly suited to you. At Iona Opal Australia, we handcraft each ring using solid Australian opals, making every piece one of a kind.

1. Consider Your Lifestyle

Do you wear your rings every day, or are you choosing something for special occasions? If you’re after a durable everyday piece, a bezel setting with a sturdy band and a boulder or black opal might be ideal. For a standout showpiece, a larger freeform opal in a claw setting could suit.

2. Match the Opal’s Colour to Your Vibe

Bold and confident? Go for red, orange, or multicolour flashes.

Calm and classic? Soft blues and greens work beautifully.

Unique and artistic? Freeform stones with abstract patterns are your match.

3. Choose the Right Setting and Metal

Gold enhances warmth in red or orange opals.

Silver or white gold highlight cooler hues like blue and green.

Vintage settings give a timeless, romantic look.

Modern minimalist settings focus all attention on the stone itself.

4. Prioritise Comfort and Fit

If the ring will be worn daily, opt for a smooth band and a setting that sits low on the finger to avoid snagging. Each Iona Opal ring is crafted with comfort and wearability in mind.
