Asked before every purchase.

Yes. Every opal we sell is natural, solid Australian opal: not a composite (doublet or triplet), not synthetic or lab-created, not treated, and not an imitation.

The stone is one whole piece of opal exactly as it came from the ground at Lightning Ridge, NSW or the boulder fields in Queensland. Each opal ships with a certificate stating its construction and origin.

Often, yes, and that's normal. Natural opal forms alongside potch, sand, and trace minerals, so a solid stone can carry small marks from its own formation; a lab-grown one can't, because it was never in the ground.

Boulder opal is different again: its ironstone matrix stays on the back deliberately, stated plainly on the certificate, never hidden. Anything that could weaken a stone means it isn't used.

We’d obviously say “here”, so ignore that and use this test instead. A good opal seller states construction (solid, doublet or triplet) and the field the stone came from — in writing, before you ask. One who can’t state those plainly, or hides them in adjectives, is not a good opal seller. The checks are set out in how to tell if an opal is real.

What you get here that a marketplace can’t give you: the family that chose and cut the stone answers your email, every piece is one of one, and the certificate says something specific. Start with the real opal collection if authenticity is the thing you’re weighing.

Not yet. Opalani sells online only — there's no showroom. Pieces ship insured and tracked from Hawai'i to US addresses.

That's a real trade-off with opal, because play-of-color photographs badly in both directions: some stones look better on a screen than in the hand, and the best ones look worse. Which is why returns run 30 days. Buy it, look at it in daylight, send it back if it isn't the one.

Each ring lists its made size. Unfortunately we don't offer resizing at this time; resizing is available from most local jewelers.

Once a ring has been resized by anyone other than us, it can no longer be returned.

Yes, you can ask. Write to us with the type of opal you like, your budget, the ring size if it’s a ring, and when you need it, and we’ll let you know what’s possible.

We accept returns within 30 days of delivery, unworn and in original condition with the certificate. Rings resized or altered by anyone other than us can't be returned.

Email us with your order number and we’ll send a prepaid return label. You get a full refund of the purchase price; the only cost to you is the return label. Full terms: shipping & returns.

Orders ship from Hawai’i to addresses within the United States only. US shipping is free and every order ships fully insured, with tracking through the postal service and a signature required on delivery. Because it ships within the US, there are no customs fees or import duties.

Please allow 2 business days for your order to be prepared; US delivery typically takes 5–9 business days after that. You'll get a confirmation email with your tracking number the moment it ships.
