What a year it has been! We have loved serving you and bringing you all some absolutely magical opal. We hope that you all have a safe and happy Christmas and holiday.
In true Black Opal Direct form, we would like to share our holiday message with you all. I hope you laugh as much as we did in making it.
We are having a holiday from Monday 17th December – Monday 7th January 2013. Therefore, we will be checking emails, but only periodically, so please be patient with us.
See you in 2013!
Best wishes,
Justin and Ruth
