Australian opal set in gold and gold-plated sterling silver — pendants, earrings and rings cut and made in Australia. Every stone is one of one: no two opals carry the same fire, so each piece here is the only one of its kind.
Opal is Australia's national gemstone and the birthstone of October. The pieces in this collection are supplied through our own mine-to-market chain and assessed in-house by our FGAA-qualified gemmologist, with certification available on request.

Choose the sapphire first, then the piece, with our FGAA-qualified gemmologist at your side. Most commissions leave our own workshop in two to four weeks.
