Lagoon Dream ~ Capturing the calm beauty of tropical waters - Iona Opal Australia

Lagoon Dream ~ Capturing the calm beauty of tropical waters

There’s a quiet magic in the way opals capture light. Each one feels alive, shifting and glowing with colours that tell a story only nature could write. This Lightning Ridge opal radiates deep blues and luminous greens, colours that echo the rolling waves and glassy calm of Australia’s coastal waters.

More than a gem, it feels like a fragment of the ocean itself, holding within it the serenity of still lagoons and the energy of tides dancing in sunlight. When you hold it, you’re reminded that no two opals are ever alike, each is a treasure formed over millions of years, with a pattern and brilliance that will never be repeated.

At Iona Opal Australia, we believe jewellery is not only about beauty but about connection. Pieces are hand-cut with care to honour their individuality, ensuring that the natural colour play, the shifting flashes of turquoise, sea foam green, and midnight blue, remains the centrepiece.

This opal can be crafted into a bespoke design, whether as a pendant resting close to the heart, a ring that catches the light with every gesture, or a keepsake that becomes part of your personal story. However you choose to wear it, it is more than jewellery; it is a reflection of Australia’s landscape and the timeless allure of the sea.

Care & Styling Tips:

  • Pair your opal with neutral or earthy tones to let its natural blues and greens shine.

  • Store away from hard gemstones like diamonds or sapphires to protect its surface.

  • A soft cloth is all it takes to bring back its glow after wear.
