Read More >I just received it and it’s absolutely magnificent. Thank you so much for such a beautiful piece, and for all the effort you put into packaging etc.
Just wanted to let you all know my opal pendant arrived safely today and I love it! Thank you all so much 🙂 (23/11/20)
Hi Rhys and Co.,
The new website looks great! It looks very sophisticated and navigation is easy.
Cheers,
A year ago I purchased a beautiful solid crystal opal from you guys, intending to get it set in an engagement ring. You said you would love to see it set. I am engaged now and well here is the result…The photo doesn’t do this ring justice, I have had so many compliments. The stone is set high so i can slip a wedding band underneath without having to get one to fit the shape of the ring. This is really good for me because when I’m at work and cannot wear my opal i can wear my wedding band without it looking an odd shape. I just wanted to say that I was so pleased with your service and that I would recommend you to anyone buying an opal or opal jewellery. Thank you so much for having such a beautiful range of opals. I think opals are the most beautiful gemstone and I thank you for selling them to people that love them just as much as me.
Yes! We have it. It looks even more amazing in person. We’re so pleased! It’s really perfect. Thank you so much! You really made this an enjoyable experience for us. Opals Down Under is top notch; I’ve never had a better buying experience in person. You’ve been so helpful and thorough. Your advice gave us so much confidence in our purchase. We absolutely love it and will recommend your business to our friends and family.
Thank you and Opals Down Under for all the time and effort you put into creating a beautiful opal pendant for me to replace the one that was stolen. It just arrived and is perfect.
Just letting you know that I collected the ring today and I love it!
I can’t thank you enough for your advice, prompt responses and help with getting everything sorted for me (us). It has been a very smooth process and I’m glad I chose you and your company for the ring.
I just want to let you know that the opal arrived today and it is absolutely gorgeous – thank you!
Thank you for your prompt delivery and excellent service with the opals. They arrived a few days after your email which was good timing as I gave them to my wife for our 14th wedding anniversary the following week! They were very well received! (16/06/20)
The opal arrived today and it’s just beautiful–just what I was looking for. Your description is right on the mark, and the paperwork that accompanied the stone is so professional. Being a first time customer, you have made me into a believing customer and I will return. Thank you so very much.
