First of all, how dangerous is your opal jewelry in the scratches and chemical products? Strength is based on a level of value trading called the Mohs scale. The higher the Mohs scale number, the harder the stone becomes. The maximum Mohs scale is 10 (diamonds). Anything with a Mohs scale of less than 7 is easily scratched (like coral, lapis lazuli, opal, pearl, and turquoise). Gold, silver, and platinum are only Mohs 2-1 / 2 to 4.
Because an opal ring can scratch gold or pearls it is always important to keep all pieces of jewelry separately. Gold jewelry will last a lifetime if cared for. Gold can be scratched and bound if you are not careful. No matter where they are worn, gold rings and bracelets will do a lot of damage, much more than earrings or necklaces. Chemicals can also cause gold damage. One of the worst is chlorine. Frequent exposure to chlorine-based cleaning products will weaken the gold and tend to break down. Don’t wear your gold in the swimming pool or Jacuzzi. Take your jewelry out of the house when you are cleaning but if you like to wear rings and bracelets wear rubber gloves for protection. Even cosmetics, perfumes, hair products, and sweat can cause gold jewelry to lose its luster. Clean your jewelry regularly using a good jewelry cleaner. Quick cleaning can be done with a baby toothbrush and mild soap and a small amount of ammonia. (Never clean the sink as jewelry may fall off, stay clean in a bowl away from the suction hose. Wash regularly and dry after cleaning. Keep it wrapped separately with a soft cloth, a jewelry box divider or a plastic bag. Keep an eye out for prongs that may break and cause stone loss. Occasionally a visit to a jewelry specialist is a great idea.
Platinum is one of the rare and enduring precious metals. It does not contaminate or change the color of chlorine. Even if it is very difficult you still need to take good care of your platinum jewelry. Keep it separate because platinum can be scratched. Platinum can be cleaned in the same way as other fine jewelry.

Your silver opal bracelets are defiled when exposed in the air. This happens very quickly in wet and foggy weather even in the sun, but it is inevitable in any weather. Tarnish starts to look like gold in your fine silver and turns black. Always store in prepared paper or cloth, or plastic zipper lock bags made of Mylar (turkey cooking bags) or polyethylene. Some plastics contain sulfur compounds that can cause rapid deterioration. Never use polyvinyl plastic bags. Small zipper lock bags work well on each piece. Do not store shiny silver jewelry on wooden surfaces as wood often contains acids that can damage the finish. Also avoid storing silver and other metals such as pens and rubber. Do not wear rubber gloves when washing or polishing silver as rubber promotes rot. Dry silver and soft polish, not paper towels. You can use a baby toothbrush or silver horsehair brush but stay away from paper towels, polyester and lessons with wood fibers as this can scratch your silver. A regular toothbrush is clean, clean quickly but highly recommended for gold, not silver. If you do not want to rub the silver (or you are not comfortable working with acid), make a dip using baking soda, aluminum foil and hot water. Place a 2 'long aluminum plate in a plastic bucket, and pour 1/2 liter of hot water over it. Then pour a cup of fresh baking soda into the water (when the soda is fresh, it will start to sting). Put a piece of silver in water, and let it sit for 30 minutes. Then take out the silver, clean it, and let it dry.
