Opal Minded, Sydney

I fell in love with the opals at Opal Minded on their website, I knew I wanted my opal from here. My saleswoman Kayleigh was so great to work with. She was patient and walked me through the whole store, showing me all different options. She asked my budget and helped me find beautiful pieces that comfortably fit within my budget. I ended up picking out a light boulder opal set in sterling silver. She also shared with me how I should care for the sterling silver as initially I was afraid of purchasing that type of metal. My opal was mined in the Opal Minded mines which was cool to learn. A certificate of authenticity was also provided for insurance purposes. If you want a gorgeous opal this is your place!

Delighted with our experience of choosing and buying opals at Opal Minded. No hard sell, just helpful and attentive to our requirements and price range. We learned so much about opals and how they differ. Initially, Fiona helped us choose a beautiful ring that ticked all the boxes. The ring needed to be sized which was done the following day. We returned to collect the ring and bought a stunning pendant. Would highly recommend this as the palace to go any buy your opal jewellery. You will be given lots of time and attention ensuring you end up with exactly what you want at the price you wish to pay.

They have an amazing selection of Opal jewellery. The team are helpful, knowledgeable and not hard-pressed to make a sale. Kayleigh assisted me in purchasing exquisite earrings. I will definitely return and can highly recommend this store to anyone hunting for Opals.

☺☺😋There are a handful of iconic landmarks that are synonymous with some of the world’s greatest cities, and Sydney’s eggshell-shaped opera house is certainly one of them. Although the Sydney Opera House is the heartbeat of the city, Sydney has a wealth of other attractions to offer its visitors. The city is notorious for its renowned beaches (you’ve probably heard of Bondi Beach and Coogee Beach), its famed vineyards, beautiful outdoors (The Blue Mountains will blow your mind), energetic nightlife, and of course--its unique wildlife which can be enjoyed in one of the city’s acclaimed zoos. Sydney isn’t just an absolutely must-visit destination, it also offers easy access to the rest of Australia and nearby New Zealand. And in case you like it so much and think it could be a good place to relocate to, we have good news for you! Sydney is regularly ranked amongst the top cities in the world to live in.

One of the great joys of visiting Sydney is the availability of many varieties and cuts of Australian opal on display. One can find them anywhere- even in souvenir shops. But there is a major difference in the quality of the Opals and one should know them before impulsively plonking a great deal of money into one. The highest quality Opals are usually the natural types and they can be classified as Black, White or Boulder. Next is the man-made Opals which are usually Doublets or Triplets. These Opals are natural Opals that have been cut but supplemented with a front or back backing to enhance the colours. Knowing all that and having visited multiple shops in Sydney, we went to Opal Minded and had a wonderful time there. Miranda, who was attending to us, took time to show us the different varieties of Opal on offer. She was patient and was very attentive in ensuring that we get to see and try on some of the most beautiful Opal beautiful jewelry that they have to offer. In the end, we settled for a beautiful Boulder Opal. The purchasing process was also very educational as the shop allows for the immediate deduction of GST from the retail price. Miranda gave us very clear instructions on how to process the paperwork at the airport and we didn't have any issues with it. It was a truly enjoyable afternoon there and we are very happy with our purchase.
