Where are the rhinestones located. It makes a difference as to how you clean them.

Get some good clear nail polish and apply to the rhinestones. It even works on your jewelry my opal seems dull I add a little polish, in time it comes off by itself.

good suggestion about clear nail polish but absolutely would not use it on a real opal. It is a soft gemstone and porous, so you are damaging the opal effect. Opals are becoming quite rare now, there are several varieties, colours, and densities so you would not want to jeopardize a lovely opal's value by applying a chemical.
