Australian Opal Jewellery Designs

If you've been a customer of Kernowcraft over the years, you will know that we are obsessed with Australian opals - and so are our customers! Every year we hand-pick freeform opals from our long standing supplier, who are a husband and wife team from Australia who mine, cut and polish the stone themselves. It is so important that our opals are high quality and ethically sourced so you can create the most special handmade designs.

We always love seeing what jewellers create using magical freeform opals, so we've featured our favourite below in hope it will inspire your designs! Did you know that opal is October's birthstone? A stunning gemstone to use in those birthstone designs...

Talking Opal Obsession with Jenny from Sea Surf Rocks

Head over to our inspiration pages where we have interviewed Jenny, the founder and creator behind Sea Surf Rocks. Jenny talks all about her jewellery making journey started and about her love for opals!

"I fell in love with opals when I used to work for Kernowcraft (a fair few years ago now), getting to see all of the beautiful stones when you got them in was like Christmas. Thereā€™s something so mesmerizing about the uniqueness of each one and their sparkle, I was hooked from the get go! My first Australian opal was from you and itā€™s still part of my personal collection, that one is staying with me."
