How To Shop For Fine Opal Jewellery

An heirloom opal is one with the qualities to hold its beauty for generations: strong brightness, rich colour, a good pattern and a protective setting in solid gold. Black opal from Lightning Ridge is the rarest of all. Its dark body tone makes every colour look more vivid, and it's the type of opal most sought after by collectors.

I grew up on the Lightning Ridge opal fields, and the stones in this collection are the kind that miners stop and look at twice. When you give one, you're giving a piece of Australia that took millions of years to form.

Premium Opal Gifts FAQs

Is black opal a good investment?

We're opal specialists, not financial advisers, so we'd never promise a return. What we can say is that fine black opal is rare, and quality stones have long been sought after by collectors.

Can I see more photos or a video of a piece? Yes. Contact us and we'll send extra photos or a video in natural light, so you can see how the colour moves.

Can gold opal rings be resized?

Many can, from AUD $50, assessed piece by piece. Resized gold rings become custom items and can't be returned for change of mind.
