Will 100% use again in the future. Thank you so much
I picked out a pendant as a gift for my wife, and she absolutely loved it. It was really nice to see the pieces in person and get advice on which one would suit her best.
I saw this opal sparkling in the sunlight at your stall and couldn’t walk away without it. You were so lovely to chat with, and it’s clear you really know your opals. Thank you, Iona.
I’ve seen a lot of opals, but nothing like the one I picked up from your market stall. It’s got the most incredible flashes of colour, and the price was very fair for a high grade opal. I’ll be back for more!
Stopped by your stall and ended up buying earrings I didn’t know I needed! LOL! The colours are amazing and I love that each opal is a bit different. So unique. Such a great find at the market!
You were so friendly and patient while I tried on half your jewellery! Ended up with the most gorgeous opal bracelet—thank you again, it was a great experience.
I didn’t plan on buying anything, but the colours in this opal stopped me in my tracks. You were so knowledgable in helping me choose the perfect one, and now it’s my favourite piece in my collection.
Thanks for taking the time to explain the difference between the opal types. I really appreciated learning about where mine came from—makes it feel even more special. Such a stunning stone!
I recently had a custom made opal necklace done by Iona and what can I say it’s simply stunning. Iona’s attention to detail and workmanship is second to none. Hand crafted in 9ct gold with all the beautiful curves. Pictures didn’t do it justice once I received it and opened it up I was in tears at how beautiful it really is. If you are wanting any custom made pieces done Iona is the one for the job. Thank you again!
