Beautiful Australian OPAL VS Korean blings !!

HELLO to those who loves "BLING BLING" !!

I visited Korea for the second time last week (early July 2015), found lots of rainbow colored materials for such crazy prices (super cheap !) but thinking  ...

"it's not as beautiful or colorful when compares to 

Australian opals" ...

See what I mean here ??!!?

Australian Black Opal Loose Stone  -  Best of the best !!!

www.opal-direct.com

Sure, it's a great market to seek for beautiful and affordable stuffs such as fabrics and jewelries in Korea.

See the following items.

This country has many to offer 

if you're happy with imitations or cheap items!

I guarantee you.   

All pretty, average price range is A$5 each 

Or A$10 a meter for the rhinestone 

chains and beautiful jewelry parts ...

Unbelievably CHEAP !!! 

All hand made jewelry with natural gems  

A$100

(^^)

Korean money's exchange rate 

is about A$1.00 ＠ 1000W

 

Lovely collection I found at duty free stores.

Even the train ticket is colorful (haha) !!

Seoul in Korea is a must place to visit and good for shopping, nice people, great culture, 

huge gap between rich & poor, 

I think Korea is a wonderful place to visit again, 

just not as beautiful as Australia though ...

Love Australia and I truly appreciate the beauty of 

Australian gem  - OPAL !!  

(more than ever now ...)   

Out door chefs, for the best dining !!!

Lots of people and energy on street.

Bought 20 pairs of quality socks in Korea 

for myself, for only A$10 !!!

Love or hate these interesting designs ??!

Anyway, now I am back in Japan ... 

missing my family & my home on the Gold Coast.

Happy Christmas season & God bless you all !!!!

 

Hi from Gold Coast ... Just returned from Japan !!

We had a great cold winter and a spectacular

Mineral Showin Tokyo again, just enjoying

every moment of our trip & busy business activity -

introducing Australian Black opal & Boulder opal to all opal admire from worldwide this December  (^^)

 

 

 

 

Of course, visiting Japn can never exclude all the good food ♪♪

Sukiyaki, Japanese　Noodles called 'Ramen' and many other beautiful & cultural cuisines over there ... Iｆ anyone has a chance to visit Japan - I promise you won't be disappointed when it comes  to 'great cuisines' for the best value !!!

 

The freshness, natural & healthy ingredients, largest variety of products, great value and perfect service, you can not complain at all, guaranteed   (^^)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Having stayed in Japan for about 3 weeks - busy working & meeting regular opal buyers ...

Time has passed so quick, by the time I realized,

I was already back in Australia (Gold Coast)

where the season / temperature was totally opposite from Japan !!! (><)

 

 

 

 

 

Yet ... somehow, I am still happy to be home ♪

Our Santa appears to be from the 'wave' instead of from the 'north pole' ... wearing a colorful beach shirt, wearing nothing, carrying a surf board  (^^)

A bit unusual, but this is Gold Coast's Santa Clause -

our life saver to be, ahahaha!!!

 

Merry Christmas everyone, lots of Love & Kiss from

How to buy OPAL ?!?

 

 



How can you see the difference between 'REAL' and 'FAKE' 

when buying opals or even any other gems?

 

Well, it's very hard to say, so please read

attached information here ...

 

http://www.gemstory.com.au/how-to-buy-opal.html

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many gemstone dealers will try and use

'unfamiliar words' to explain,

when they're sersuading you to buy one.

 

But how much can you really understand

what they're saying??

 

It would be best that you go around, touch and see

more than a million piece of gems, then you may not

make mistakes in SELECTING ONE  (^^;)

    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, it's impossible to do that ...

 

Life is too short !!!

That is why it's important to learn ... Please read this.

 

http://www.gemstory.com.au/about-gemstory.html

 

 

Four images I am showing in this particular BLOG ...

Can you tell which image is

NOT NATURAL OPAL ?!?

 

(if you guess it right, I have to kiss you on a cheek, haha!!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, the point here is that gemstones are very tricky

when it comes to "How to buy the right one" ...

If you know that your opal is not 100% natural,

just partially real & you're happy with it,

sure I have nothing against your pick.

 

Only if you do not want to be tricked by those who's 

selling opals to you, it's always better to learn first!!!

Australian Boulder Opal Specimen ...

 

Whether you LOVE or HATE this, it is very popular

amongst all "opal collector"

who's seen many opal rocks around the world !!! 

 

 

WE ARE AUSTRALIAN ♪♪

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some may collect or buy it for personal reason,

some will see more beauty & investment value

in this piece of rock, and others will try to

cut & polish to find what's deep inside

(and may regret, hahaha!!) ...

 

As for myself, I would just like to keep and use 

it as "paper weight".

 

 

 

 

 

Australian Black Opal ...

 

If it's colorful and precious quality like these little ones,

I'd rather price them all, set into beautiful

"opal jewelley" and make living out of it !!!  (^^)

 

Sounds unromantic?!?

 

Well, knowing how rare and popular Australian Black Opal,

as well as quality Boulder Opal is in today's market,

you can not waste any opal ...

Australian Designers Jewellery ...

 

That's why people like myself would like to

sit down and work on this amazing gemstone -

National Gemstone of Australia, try to complete it

in a different style so that opal admires or 

gemstone admires will have more chance to

see & enjoy Australian Opal.

RED, ORANGE RED, GOLDEN RED ...

Have you been to Lightning Ridge - A well known opal field for BLACK OPAL before? Black Opal is named this way, because of its dark body tone ...

This precious, amazing Australian Gemstone is ONE AND ONLY ... Not only for its rareness, its uniqueness but also for its ARTISTIC CHARACTER !!!
