Rarities Pink Opals losing pink color

I have earrings from Jay king with opal and noticed my opal turned yellow
I wore them once
It looks so ugly

Thank you for a quick response to my post. I never knew gold can be tarnished. I had an antique jade bracelet mounted in sterling silver. I brought it to jeweler to dip in 14k gold. After 3 years, it still shines as a new like real solid 14k. It won’t require a cleaning maintenance. Isn’t it why do people prefer a gold VS a silver ? In a way, I am glad I found out the tarnish in my possession rather than my daughter’s hand. She probably thought she got the junk. I left a voice message to HSN executive phone line. Let’s see if anyone return my call. In the meantime, I will keep in mind your jewelry cleaning suggestion. Lessons learned, never again.! Stay safe.

Hi JADiva,

Your post caught my attention because I have a similar problem with a Jewlery bought from ”
Rarities” First How did you resolve the problem you had with her jewelry?
I bought a pair of lace dangle earrings with diamonds to give it to my daughter for a special event. So I tucked it away. Finally bought a fancy box for it to give. When i opened it from HSN box, to my surprise they are completely turned into BLACK, a bit of red here and there.
Called the customer Service, she said, gold plate turns color around a year time. Because its a year old, they can,t do anything about it.
Rarities is selling inferior jewelries. Customer will never know what kind of suspicious metal she is using as a base metal. It supposed to be a sterling silver overlay of 22k gold. The earrings haven’t worn even once and now its a total trash. By the way, there is no one to reach Rarities.

I’ve forever sworn off Rarities, due to stones falling out on multiple pieces and poor workmanship (costing me a lot to have fixed). At her price points and considering it’s plated, we deserve much better.

Hi JADiva, sorry to hear about your problems with your pink opals. Pink opals will fade if exposed to direct sunlight, they will also fade if exposed to water, humidity, and changes in humidity. I bought one piece of Rarities jewelry years ago when they first came on. It was a piece of junk, damaged, missing a stone, and I returned it. I have never bought from Rarities again. I hope your bracelet was set in at least 14K gold for the price you paid for it. Howlite is one of the most inexpensive and common stones around. Peruvian pink opal is quite abundant also. Granted, Carol has a great sales pitch, but next time, do some research and really look at what Carol is selling. I hope this was helpful. I hope I haven’t upset you.
