Description

Opal is typically cut as a cabochon to best display its “play-of-color.” A faceted opal, while less common, would emphasize its body color and transparency more than its iridescence. A 1.40 carat oval-shaped faceted opal, likely a crystal or common opal variety, would present a subtle internal glow or a consistent body color. Its facets would add sparkle, making it suitable for a unique, delicate ring or a charming pendant for those who appreciate its understated beauty and distinct cut.

Recommended Finger

• Ring Finger: The most widely preferred option. It is associated with Venus (the ruling planet of opal) and helps attract love, creativity, and harmony.
• Index Finger: Ruled by Jupiter, wearing it here helps increase confidence, leadership, and spiritual growth. 

Recommended Metal

• Silver is the top astrological choice because it complements the cool, calm vibrations of the stone.
• Alternatively, you can use white gold, platinum, or Panchdhatu (a mix of five metals). 

 Auspicious Time

For maximum astrological benefits, the ring should be worn on a Friday morning during Shukla Paksha (the waxing phase of the moon). Before wearing, you can dip the ring in milk or Gangajal and chant the mantra “Om Draam Dreem Draum Sah Shukraya Namah” 108 times.
