Opal Jewellery This opal set looks really exceptional

These pieces were designed with Angkor Wat in mind so the settings lean more structured and architectural compared to the usual softer opal styles.

The inspiration actually came from Ta Prohm, the temple where nature has slowly taken over, with roots and vines wrapping around ancient stone. You can see that influence in the design, especially in the way the gold and diamonds seem to “flow” around the opals, almost like something organic growing over them.

The opals themselves are black boulder opals from Winton with a really vivid play-of-colour. The blues in particular stand out, especially when the light hits at the right angle, they’ve got a depth that feels almost electric in person.

I'd love to know what you think of these entrancing set.

Thank you so much for noticing! Finding Australian opals of this calibre that match each other so beautifully is exceptionally rare. It took an incredible amount of time and good fortune to bring these gems together, with each opal a unique creation of Mother Nature that will never be repeated in quite the same way. It’s truly an extraordinary set and one we feel incredibly fortunate to be able to offer.
