The jewelry buying team at Borsheim's travels the world over to find exclusive jewelry designs that meet our rigid selection criteria. We have minimum standards of quality that each designer must meet before we will consider their product for our inventory. Those quality standards include excellent craftsmanship coupled with best quality diamonds. Jewelry from Borsheim's must sparkle a vivid display and this cannot be achieved with poorly cut diamonds.

Softer and more fragile than other gemstones, opal requires special care when worn. Opals have high water content and tend to dry out causing them to craze. Avoid storing your opals in airtight areas, such as a safety deposit box. The dry climate tends to accelerate the drying of an opal. Additionally, heat and sudden temperature changes may also cause opals to crack, so they should not be put into an ultrasonic or steam cleaner. Should your opal become soiled, you should clean it with a soft cloth. It is important to have your jewelry professionally cleaned and checked three to four times a year. When not worn, opal jewelry should be stored in a jewelry box lined with soft fabric.
