Kindred Spirit

Yes, all of our opals are 100% solid natural Australian opals, ethically sourced and expertly cut in-house. We prioritise transparency and traceability, so you’ll always know the provenance of the opal you're wearing.

Yes — bespoke design is at the heart of what we do. You can work with us to create a custom piece featuring gemstones that speaks to you.

All of our pieces are proudly designed in Australia by our founder, Ruth, using ethically sourced gemstones and high-quality materials.

To keep your jewellery looking its best, soak your piece of jewelry in warm water with dishwashing liquid. Gently scrub with a toothbrush then wipe with a soft cloth. Store it safely away from direct sunlight or harsh chemicals.

Kindred Color creates handcrafted pieces designed to celebrate individuality. We focus on ethically sourced gemstones — especially Australian opals — and combine thoughtful design with fine craftsmanship to make jewellery that feels personal, intentional, and one-of-a-kind. Each piece is made to reflect your story.

Ruth Benjamin-Thomas is the founder of Kindred Color, the sister brand of Black Opal Direct. Ruth has been a gemstone merchant since early 2000s, buying and selling the world's best Australian opals.
