Opal laid it's magic on me (Peter) at a very early age, and in my teenage years my father taught me the very basics of opal cutting & polishing.

From then on I developed my own individual opal skills and became more fully involved with the fascinating world of opal and all that it entailed.

Opal for me is a living vibrant Gemstone that "speaks" to me when I am working with it. Sometimes showing me exactly how it wants to display itself. How it wants to present itself to the world....!

It was from wanting to create a different type of opal jewellery other than that encased in gold or silver etc., that eventually led me into working with different mediums which would highlight more of the natural colour play and vibrancy of the opal itself.

Our "Opals On Black"products were created from this desire and passion for opal.

There is enormous pleasure in finishing an opal piece and launching it "out into the world"!

Barb does all the website and computer work, the photography and putting together all the extras that are needed for the presentation of our "Opals On Black" products to the world.

Barb is also an artist working in oils, pastels & acrylic and of course... photography!
Some of her work in art & photography is also shown here.

We have our own website where you can see our Opal Jewelry, Opal Doublets, Solids, Boulder Opal Jewelry and of course our unique & handcrafted individual ranges of Gem Opal Necklace Beads, Pendant & Circle Beads.

All the best and thanks for visiting us here......Peter & Barb
