Australian Opal Ring Gold Surgical Steel Size P (7 3/4)

I bought some beautiful crosses with opal centers from Iona. I had to contact Iona due to stock availability and they reached out to me as if we were friends long ago. Talking to Iona was a wonderful experience not to mention their products which in my opinion are unique and quite extraordinary.
Thank you Iona for the personal experience and beautiful products.

Coastal Cruisin ~ 60ct Solid Queensland Koroit Opal Pendant Necklace

Gorgeous craftsmanship

Extremely happy with the craftsmanship and brilliant service. Very good value for money. I could not recommend Iona Opal more highly.

Summer Night Vibes ~ 49ct Solid Queensland Koroit Opal Pendant Necklace

Absolutely beautiful ring

This ring is perfect all round. From the feel and finish of the steel to the absolutely beautiful colors of the opals embedded in the inlay. I have a couple of opal rings but this one is my favorite.

Handcrafted Australian Opal Ring Black Surgical Steel Size Z (12 3/4)

Best opals

Fantastic it is great to actually receive Australian opals from an Australian company. We brought this as a replacement for my daughter as she had lost her Opal necklace. Her dad brought her as a child. She was more than happy to receive this one as she loves Christmas and loves opals and as it was from Cooper Pedi it had sentimental meaning behind it as well. It is a beautiful opal. I would highly recommend buying from this company as they are Australian made and I owned
