RINGS

Unearthed After 30 Million Years

Energy you can feel, luxury you can trust

100% Genuine & Ethically Sourced Opal

Trusted for over 40 years

From Mine to Market

No Middleman. No Imitations.

For over 40 years, the team behind Australian Opal Direct has been a trusted leader in the Opal industry; wholesaling, exporting, and retailing 100% Genuine Australian Opal. But our roots run deeper beginning in the 1960s with Black Opal mining in Lightning Ridge. In the 1970s, we expanded operations to a quarry in Papua New Guinea, before returning to Australia in the early 1980s to pursue gold mining. By the mid-1980s, our focus shifted to mining Boulder Opal in Opalton while retailing at the iconic Kuranda Markets. Our first retail store was later opened near the Opal fields in Winton, Queensland in 2010.

From those early mining days to our current global footprint, we’ve built long-standing partnerships across the entire supply chain, from miners and cutters to master jewellers. By eliminating the middleman, we deliver premium-quality Australian Opals at below retail prices directly to our customers.

Caring for Your Opal Ring Preserves its Natural Brilliance  

Your opal ring deserves care and attention to maintain its stunning beauty. These gemstones are slightly softer (Mohs hardness of 5–6.5), meaning proper care is essential to avoid damage. Follow these tips to ensure your opal ring stays in pristine condition for years to come:

Tips for Opal Care:

  • Cleaning: Use warm, soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals.  

  • Storage: Keep in a soft-lined jewelry box, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.  

  • Repair: Always entrust repairs to professionals, especially for complex settings.  

For detailed guidance, refer to Australian Opal Direct’s care and handling guide.  

Can You Wear an Opal Ring Every Day?  

While opals are somewhat soft, you can wear them daily by choosing protective settings, like bezels, to shield the edges from impacts. Occasional wear is best for more intricate designs.  

FAQs About Opal Rings  

How Does Australian Opal Compare to Other Gemstones?

Australian opals stand out for their brilliant, naturally occurring play-of-color, making them highly desirable and scarce compared to other gemstones.  

Why Do Opal Rings Display so Many Different Colors?

The play-of-color occurs due to microscopic silica spheres in the stone, refracting light into vibrant hues.  

What’s the Difference Between Natural and Synthetic Opal?

Natural opals are mined and carefully cut, while synthetic options are man-made. Australian Opal Direct only sells earth-sourced opals for genuine luxury.  

 

How do I select the correct opal ring size? – Use the Opal Ring Size Chart at Australian Opal Direct to get precise measurements. It’s a simple way to ensure your new opal ring fits perfectly without the hassle of returns or adjustments.

 

Is It Safe to Order a Luxury Opal Ring Online?

Absolutely. Australian Opal Direct provides global shipping insurance, a luxury jewelry box, and memberships for discerning collectors, guaranteeing a secure and premium shopping experience.  

How Can I Tell if an Opal Ring is Real or Natural?

Look for the play-of-color and inspect for seams (often present in doublets or triplets). Australian Opal Direct ensures authenticity with every piece.
