Welcome to the Black Opal Direct website, home of the amazing Australian black opal as well as all the other beauties like crystal opal, dark opal, white opal and of course boulder opal! Our family has been in the opal game since 1961 and we just love making our clients opal dreams come true. READ MORE…
Since black opals come in unique shapes and sizes there’s no way to exactly custom design your opal jewelry until you find the perfect opal. Finding the right opal to use in your jewelry is really a love affair… Love at first sight in fact.
Because black opals can be found in a wide variety of patterns and colors, you might search a long time before you find the perfect opal gemstone, and you will know it as soon as you see it. Simply seeing photos of black opals isn’t good enough to make an opal buying decision, which is why every one of our opals has a short video to show the play of color that becomes the centerpiece of your opal jewelry.
The black opals you’ll find on this website are perfect for making that extra special opal ring, opal pendant, black opal earrings, and even as part of a bracelet with mounted opals.
All our opals are backed by Our Promise to you. If you receive your opal and it isn’t what you are looking for, you can return it within 30 days of purchase for a full refund (less shipping of course). There are some conditions so be sure to visit the Our Promise page. We ship to many countries including the USA, UK, Europe and many countries within Asia. We use a combination of Fedex and DHL eCommerce for safe and reliable shipping. Paying for your purchase is easy. We accept US dollars and Australian dollars and you can switch between the two currencies using the flags at the top of the page. We accept Visa, Mastercard and PayPal. If you are in Australia or the USA you can also use bank transfer to our local country accounts. Please enjoy viewing our wide range of Australian opals and if you need any assistance, we are only a message away!We acknowledge all First Peoples of this land specifically the Yugambeh People on whose land we live and the Gamilaroi and Yuwaalaraay people on whose land opal is found. We celebrate their enduring connections to Country, knowledge and stories. We pay our respects to Elders and Ancestors who watch over us and guide the community.
