Welcome to Opals On Black !

Opal laid its "claim" on me at a very early age with a schoolfriend giving me a tiny piece of "Maleny opal" (Sunshine Coast, Queensland,Australia), leaving me totally mesmerised by its beauty, and that then propelled me fully forward into the world of opal !

From that point on it was an expensive and rocky road to developing my individual opal skills and learning the many and varied aspects of opal.

But it was from wanting to create a different type of opal jewellery other than encased in gold/silver etc. that 30 years later led me into working with different mediums which would highlight more of the natural color play and vibrancy of the opal itself.

"Opals On Black" was created from this desire and passion for opal. As well as our unique opal jewelry, we have a stunning range of pendant opal beads,opal necklace beads and calibrated opal doublets and opal solids - all meticulously and individually handcrafted.

As I concentrate on the finding of opal,cutting,and making of our opal products, Barb, my life-partner, works "computer-land" and all that goes with it;designing, producing all the beaut photos and videos, and puts together all that extra "stuff" that is needed. She is also an artist in her own right in oils, pastels & acrylics and of course... photography !

Between us we make up the "team" of Opals On Black.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and read all about us!
