Amazing 'opal ring' !!!! ❤
Look at this !!!
A very creative jeweler made this ring !!!
Please see this site and you'll fall in love with every piece of his hand-made jewelry ... a true piece of 'ART' ❤
A jeweler originally purchased a boulder opal loose which we've introduced through online. We shipped an opal (check out its original shape & condition before it turned into this amazing opal ring!) to the US for a jeweler, and here it is.
Superb ring it became !!!!
(^^)
High quality solid / natural, Australian boulder opal like this is only to be found in Queensland, its a unique, very bright colored opal of all.
Good job to 'metamorphosis design' !!!
I love it very much ❤

Collectible black opal from Lightning Ridge !!
I have not seen a beautiful black opal with such clear 'Harlequin Pattern' for a long time ...
WOW !!!
This piece will go so quick and whoever purchases this from us, she / he will be super happy & lucky.
(^^)
To see how rare and valuable this unique pattern is, please read information below or go to our informative website, thanks!
How to value black opal ?
Black Opal
Is an opal which generally mined in the Lightning Ridge (New South Wales, Australia) and has a dark grey to black body tone. It is the most valuable form of opal due to its dark body tone causes the richness in colors.
Body Tone
This is quite important when it comes to classifying and valuing black opal. If the background of the opal (ranges from black through to light color) is black or dark body tone, it is rarer and more valuable than the light or crystal body tone. It's dark body often relates to the richness of colors on surface.
The more vibrant with darker body tone, the more desirable.
( N1 is the best ).
BODY TONE SCALE
Brilliance
The degree of brightness, richness and clarity of the color displayed by opal, when viewed face-up, is extremely important. Opal that still shows its color from a metre away, is considerably a bright, brilliant piece, therefore B1 is the best.
BRILLIANCE SCALE
Play of Color
"Color change" or "spectrum of colors" showing on opal is more valuable than an opal with only one color and does not change or show any spectrum of colors when seeing under the light.
As the opal is rotated, does it change its colors and pattern ? Is the color visible from all directions and looks amusing enough ?
Pattern
There are "collectible patterns" to "not so collectible pattern" when it comes to the pattern variety. Good patterns combined with brilliant colors have an enormous impact on the value. Pinfire and small type patterns are less desirable than broad patterns or large flashes. Here are some great, collectible pattern samples.
Harlequin Pattern
 | Harlequin Pattern : like a mosaic or chequerboard, packed / lined nicely. |
|---|
Ribbon Pattern
 | Ribbon Pattern : paralleled cascading lines of rolling colors. |
|---|
Flagstone Pattern
 | Flagstone Pattern : similar to harlequin pattern but more irregular and random. |
|---|
Palette Pattern
 | Palette Pattern : just like an artist's palette, with colors and imaginations. |
|---|
Chinese Writing Pattern
 | Chinese Writing Pattern : thin lines and strips of overlapping color, resembling Chinese Characters. |
|---|
Rolling Flash Pattern
 | Rolling Flash Pattern : flash which rolls across the stone as it turns, like lightnings. |
|---|
Pinfire Pattern
 | Pinfire Pattern : a distinctive dotted or specks of colour is also popular. |
|---|
Carat Weight & Shape
Precious opal is just like any other rare gemstones, when its carat size / carat Weight is greater, its considerably more valuable and desirable. Also it is believe to be more stable in quality.
Opal with high cabochon (left) will naturally increases its carat weight and often displays more brilliance.
Oval, Tear drop and other regular shaped opal can bring a higher, premium price than irregular shapes (free form opal) because of higher demand in making uniformed shape jewelry.
Imperfection
Opal with visible surface cracks, poor polish with faulty lines, potch lines (black or grey lines), windows (see through sections or lacking of color areas), cloudy lines, sand spots on the surface, can affect and reduce the value.
Some sand spots and unfinished polish can get away if they're to show on the back of opal.
Crack
Sand
Potch
Potch line
Cloudy spot
Window
Please, remember that there is no standards or perfect method for valuing opals, as each individual opal is too unique in terms of brilliance, pattern, character, colors, shapes and over all beauty.
Do your homework, ask questions, ask about guarantees or certificate for your opal and compare the second or third opinion from an experienced opal dealer before purchasing.
If you find a piece you like and if it is a solid opal - buy it as there is no two alike.

Only The Best Will Do !!
Finding good opal is just hard enough ....
Finding great opal is even harder ...
Finding gorgeous opal is almost impossible !!!
But look at this 'amazing boulder opal' in its
natural form, weights over 10Kg,
filled with bright blue / green colors.
Usually colorful opal does not come in this large size!
And if there's one to be found, many would consider
getting it cut & polish it straight.
Making more $$$ by breaking down into small pieces
and sold each to the retailer ...
However, our buyer specifically asked us to find a
top quality (like this one!) Australian boulder opal in a large, original form, with lots of colors and full energy !!
Something amusing with strong character but untouched, something valuable but price has to be right,
something collectible !!!
(^^)
So here it is ...
We managed to find one!
And 'SOLD' straightaway !!
Thank GOD, can you imagine how much effort
it took us to carry this beautiful boulder specimen from Australia to Japan by an airplane?
Now we need to find another piece,
for an opal lover, with tight budget,
but we love to challenge our mission !!! ^^

"THANKS" to BEAUTIFUL OPALS ...
Australian Opal - Just individually unique and precious ...
and extremely BEAUTIFUL nothing can be
compared to this gemstone!!
Its color, patterns, character, free formed shape and
of course, its 'rareness' ... Just too unique ♪
Finding one high quality Boulder Opal like what
I am showing here, is a hard sweat ...
The miner must deal with the hot heat all day,
must work in a dusty condition wearing the right gear,
they must spend so much fees and time moving the machinery
& repairing it when it breaks down.
Could you be the one to do it all??!!?
Finding Australian Boulder Opal & Black Opal
is not something many miners could do,
simply because there's too much risks & costs involved,
yet the amount of opal they can find is ... absolutely next to nothing !!!! (><) !!!!!
But why are there still some opal miners continue mining??
Well, either they are crazy (hahaha!) or just too much
in love with this gem, they just don't know how to
stop looking for ONE !!!
Once they get involved in mining these
'EXQUISITE OPALS - Black & Boulder' ...
it's in their blood for the rest of their lives.
As an opal exporter & wholesaler, representing Australia,
I really am proud of my profession -
and thinking "I am one of a CRAZY one too,
been involving in this for the last 20 years" ... (^^;
Gold Coast, where I live is so different to the opal mine ... sometimes it is good to be in the field with friends,
but always nice & relaxed to be at home of beautiful beaches.
Have a good afternoon, my friends!!!

100% Hand Crafted Item !!
So pretty, I found a BIG HEART rightaway (^^)
Can you see a heart shaped pattern, in the red color?
And look how much hard work & how much time
one'll have to put into ... before you see a beautiful collection
of Good, Australian Opal or Opal Jewelry.
No wonder why the value of Australian Opal is so
'TOP OF THE WORLD'
because only professional people like Steve (and Me ??!!??)
can use their high skills to bring it into life!!
Big or small, Rough or clean, Tough or soft, I
nteresting or boring ... However condition the opal rock is,
it sure has some sort of beauty & uniqueness in each every piece ... and our mission is to examine & turn it into something
PRECIOUS & MEMORABLE !!!
Australian Opal is considered the
BEST IN THE WORLD.
We love this unique GEM so much,
just can not have enough of it ... And still deeply involved in
OPAL BUSINESS after over 20 years !!!
