Real Opal, Real Prices, Real People — How We Keep Our Jewellery Affordable Without Cutting Corners
When people see genuine Australian opal jewellery at our prices, we often hear the same thing: “How can it be real?”
The truth is simple — we keep our process close to home. Every solid opal we sell is hand-cut, polished, and set by us in our family-run workshop in Townsville, Queensland. There’s no outsourcing, no wholesalers, and no middlemen taking their cut.
Because we buy directly from miners and cut the stones ourselves, we can offer real value without compromising on quality. Other jewellers often pay multiple mark-ups — from miner to cutter, to wholesaler, to retailer — but when you buy from us, you’re buying straight from the source.
We also keep our overheads lean. Our studio is powered by renewable energy, our packaging is sustainable, and our focus is on craftsmanship rather than costly marketing or luxury mark-ups.
Affordable doesn’t mean less — it means honest.
Real opals. Real prices. Real people.
