Yes, opal is relatively fragile, but not as fragile as many people believe.

What is added to a synthetic gemstone to distinguish it from a natural stone?

As funny as it sounds, though synthetic gemstones are much more affordable than their natural counterparts, they are actually the gems that possess the more flawless appearance. Synthetic gemstones are made in laboratories while natural gemstones might appear a bit worn and less brilliant in comparison, due to their exposure to various natural conditions. In addition, most often, synthetic gemstones are more dense than natural gemstones, meaning that natural gems are lighter. There's a great article on Diamond Price Guide about just this topic. Check it out if you want to read more about the differences between synthetic and natural gemstones.


What is the best way to know if a piece of jewelry is expensive?

you should first weigh the piece of jewelery to see i it is heavy. if it is not heavy, then it is probably pure and is expensive. some jewelery is heavy and therefore must be compared with the weight of the actual object is was made from.Another Answer'Expensive' is relative.Metal in jewelery can be expensive, especially if a high-karat purity gold is used, or if the metal is platinum.

Craftsmanship can be an other indicator, especially where hand-tooling or hand-fabrication are employed.
