This place is awesome...!!!
The family business is small but the people are super friendly and the quality of opals are brilliant.
They explain everything to you and make you feel welcome.
We bought a set of earrings and left with a goodies bag full of souvenirs.
Can not recommend them enough...!!

Love this shop for some Opal jewellery. The family are miners and have a great knowledge of Opal mining and jewellery. Very friendly staff and the small box of stones that are given are always appreciated. I visit every time.

Just purchased my perfect ring, not contrived, a perfect (in my eyes) stone and setting for me. Love this family and even got the explanation of where my stone was found and when 2004. please consider Opalios as one of the most genuine suppliers of quality opal in beautiful, individual settings. Thank you so much, so very Happy 😍

We were on a family trip and stopped in to browse. Not long we were all buying opals! The owner showed us plenty of beautiful things. He was very friendly, loved his work and there was no pressure. I'm glad we bought here are very happy and received some small additionals. I loved the Aussie key chain, thank you! Highly recommended.

This was the first store we visited and after two days store hopping it was also the last. We found the service top notch and the quality of the stones and jewellery excellent. The added touch of providing little stone bags to the kids is brilliant. Our daughter found an opal in one which the owners happily polished for her. Look no further if you’re wanting to purchase something special in CP.

The friendliest family store! My son got a box of rough opals and a fossil for free. They are so generous! Got some beautiful opal earrings at a great price.
