Opals Australia Pty Ltd

Can you imagine giving someone a present that is completely unique? A present they will not be able to find anywhere else in the world?
If you are looking for a meaningful present that transcends time and feelings, Australian opals are it. Each Australian opal is unique and when rotated, the opal displays a constantly changing interplay of vibrant colours - that's why the Greeks called them "Opallos" or "to see a change of colour".

An Australian opal is not only an stunningly beautiful product of mother earth's labours, it's also a very rare one. Opals' rarity has contributed in making jewellery manufactured with this stone, extremely exclusive and sought after. Common opals are found only in a small number of countries, with some of the more precious varieties being found in Brazil and Mexico. However, the vast majority of opals,- 96% of the world's resources, in fact,- are found in three isolated areas in the outback of Australia - Lightning Ridge, in New South Wales, the South Australian fields of Mintabie, Coober Pedy and Andamooka and from Central Queensland in the areas around the townships of Quilpie and Winton.

The light opals found in the South Australian fields, also known as 'white opals' are commonly found in seams which, allows them to be cut into standard sizes, unlike most other types of precious opals. The crystal or transparent opals of the South Australian fields feature a distinct and very bright range and play of colours while the black crystal opals of the Lightning Ridge fields are known for their smoky colouring.

The designers at Opals Australia employ the best stones found in these three remote Australian locations to produce finely crafted pieces of opal jewellery suited for people of all ages. With two styles of bangles, hinged on the side or cuff style fitted across the wrist, Opals Australia’s bangles are crafted in solid inlay opal and light opal doublet, with sterling silver and14K yellow and white gold. To produce opal bracelets, Opals Australia’s craftsmen use a variety of stone shapes including oval and marquise set in 14K gold while some of their modern styles in sterling silver are very popular among the young and young at heart. Their range of opal earrings are manufactured in gold and sterling silver using solid light opal, solid inlay opal and light opal doublet.
