This piece is created with a particular kind of opal called Hydrophane Opals. All opals contain water, some up to 20%. In Hydrophane Opals, the amount of water fluctuates based on things like humidity, weather, chemicals, and contact with water. When an opal's water contents change, so can the opal's color. (It's a modern-day mood ring!) To avoid color change:- Don't fully submerge your opal in water. -Avoid exposing opals to extreme weather and extreme light + dark. - Store opal jewelry in a sealed container.-Do not use chemical cleaners and take opals off before applying makeup or hair products.- I don't recommend this piece for everyda
