Independence Day is celebrated annually on the 4th of July. It is the day which recalls the celebration of independence from Britain in the year 1776.

As Independence Day falls in summers, most people like to enjoy their holiday outdoors with family and friends.

Known as the eye stone because of its ability to heal eye-related diseases, opal is a healing gemstone that has it all. It is believed that the word ‘opal’ is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Upala’ which means ‘precious stone.’ Some say that it was adapted from the word ‘opalus’ while others suggest that it may have been related to ‘Ops’ the wife of Saturn & the fertility goddess. Opal’s hardness doesn’t stand too high on the hardness scale which means it should be kept with care. Opal jewelry needs to be kept out of the sun or heat for a longer duration because opal contains moisture which is the reason behind its colorful appearance. Extreme heat and dryness can cause the stone to crack over time & lose its color.  Opal holds the colors of 4 of the most loved gemstones around the world and presents them in an eye-catching shimmer.

Knowing what looks best with your dress neckline will help you create the perfect style. Follow these 4 simple rules to get it right. What Jewellery Suits My Wedding Dress? 1.
