What opal ring designs are available at Camile and Stone?

At Camile and Stone we provide a wide range of ring styles to cater for many tastes and preferences. As part of our opal ring collection, we offer designs in yellow gold, rose gold and sterling silver to bring out the beauty of this shimmering gemstone. Choose from the following styles and more.

• Open rings: Opal rings in an open style offer the added flexibility of being able to fit comfortably. 
• Statement rings: Opals go well with other gemstones to create an eye-catching statement ring design.
• Engagement rings: As an alternative to diamonds on engagement rings, opals are a unique choice.
• Stacking rings: Try stacking opal rings with other gemstone rings to add depth and multicoloured shine. 

Can I customise an opal ring with engravings?

Absolutely, our opal ring collection can be customised using our engraving service. This service offers you the opportunity of personalising any jewellery piece you buy with us. With our engraving service, you can make your opal ring truly individual by including a short message, symbol, or name. 

Are opal rings suitable for special occasions and daily wear?

The beauty behind all our ring collections is the fact that they can be worn every day. Our opal rings are no different. While their stunning shine and precious metal settings make them suitable for formal events and special occasions, they can feel equally at home worn with casual clothing. 

What are the latest trends in opal rings for 2025?

With their mystical shimmer, opal rings are fast becoming a popular choice. This year, a few opal ring trends are popping up. Here are some of the top trends to look out for:

• Sustainability: With a move towards eco-conscious consumerism, we consider sustainability a major part of our jewellery-making process. We use recycled metals in our ring collections as part of our commitment to sustainable and ethical jewellery-making practices.
• Opal stacking rings: Stacking rings on top of one another is a modern way to wear contemporary or simplified opal ring designs.
• Mixed metals and gems: Try combining different precious metals or multiple types of gemstones in one piece. This trend is a rebellion against age-old accessorising rules. Nowadays you can mix and match your metals and gemstones.
• Personalised designs: Opals offer a unique quality with their colour-changing shine. Want to make your opal ring even more special? Opt for bespoke designs, custom settings, or engravings, to personalise your ring even further.

What materials are used in Camile and Stone UK’s opal rings?

Our opal rings are available in yellow gold, rose gold and sterling silver colourways. We use gold vermeil (18K gold on 925 silver) or sterling silver to ensure your opal ring is as strong as it is beautiful. All our jewellery is crafted at the Camile and Stone studio in Melbourne, Australia. So, we can guarantee that our opal rings are made to our high standards.

What metal options best complement an opal ring?

When it comes to complementing the iridescent shimmer of an opal ring, you have a few options to choose from. Traditional, yellow gold is a classic choice, with its warm tones picking out the red and orange flecks in the stone. 

For a more modern look, cool metals such as sterling silver and platinum bring out the blue and green undertones present in the gemstone. Rose gold is another option, for a romantic, feminine touch. However, the best choice solely depends on your personal preference and the metal you would most feel comfortable wearing every day. 

Are opals suitable for engagement rings, and how durable are they?

When you think of engagement rings, opals don’t automatically spring to mind. However, why follow the masses? Opals offer a unique quality with their colour-changing shine that lends itself well to a special jewellery piece. Translucent, milky opals also go so well with the clear shine of diamonds, moissanite, and other gemstones. 

Consider customising your opal ring to include mixed metals or other gemstones. Use your imagination and let us help you. You can also seek inspiration from engagement ring trend guides to create the perfect opal engagement ring.

What makes Camile and Stone opal rings unique?

Opals themselves are a unique gemstone, with no two looking the same. However, it's not just the materials that make our opal rings special. Our opal ring collection features a wide range of styles, from classic silhouettes to contemporary designs, all crafted with unparalleled skill. Furthermore, our personalisation service allows you to customise your opal ring for a thoughtful piece of jewellery you can wear every day. 

Can I pair opal rings with other gemstones or diamonds?

Yes, in fact, we encourage it! Get creative and mix and match your opal ring with other precious gemstone pieces. The almost opaque quality of opals means that they contrast well against the brilliant clear shine of diamonds, moissanite, emeralds, or rubies.

What care tips do Camile and Stone recommend for opal rings?

Even though all our jewellery is designed for everyday wear, this doesn’t mean you shouldn't care for it properly. Proper care ensures that our opal rings continue to look as good as the day they were purchased. 

First of all, try not to expose your ring to water, including while showering, washing hands, or swimming, as this can cause tarnishing. Removing before a workout is also a good habit to take up as some pieces may break during vigorous activities.

Get into the habit of appling toiletries such as perfumes and lotions first and letting them sink in before popping on your ring. As some chemicals can damage gold-plated and sterling silver rings. The same goes for cleaning products, wear a pair of protective gloves or remove your ring altogether when taking on household chores.
