Exploring how the physics of diffraction, a phenomena only found in a handful of other gemstones, opal can appear to have an endless number of colours and designs. Let’s explore.

The holidays are the perfect occasion to wear all your favourite opal jewellery pieces. But there’s one trend that you may not know about, and it takes festive dressing with opals to the next level : the opal Christmas tree brooch!

Summer is a great time to experiment with your opal jewellery and show off some of your favourite pieces. Need some inspiration?
