Read More >I received my order today. It’s stunning! Thank you so much for your attentive customer service.
I do have the pendant and it is gorgeous! Thanks so much for the update anyway. We actually went out and priced some chains, as anything I have is much too delicate. The pendant was a birthday gift……….I guess I know what I’m getting for Christmas!
Thanks again Rhys, for all your help. I really do love my “opal from down under” (forgive me)
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)
I just received the Opal today. AWESOME! It has a generous amount of RED color also. Just a Rainbow of delight! Cheers
Just wanted to say thank you very much for helping with my beautiful engagement ring. I have been wearing it all the time. Everyone has commented on how unique and pretty it is and how it is “very me” (and of course they all ask where we got it from!). Thanks again.
My Opal arrived the 16 of February and I just picked it up from the post office yesterday. I purchased the stone for an engagement ring and it is amazing. I showed the to be bride and she loves it. By far your company has the most brilliant stones. I am wondering if it is possible to find two more opals similar in color, but slightly smaller for a wedding band. Thank You and The Staff at Opals Down Under.
The package arrived yesterday, and it is amazing!!!! Love the product and the personal treatment has been excellent!
Pendant has arrived and the colours really stand out, fantastic.
The stone is incredible – more beautiful than I could have imagined – this is the stone we have been searching for at least 10 years. If you are still in communications with the family of the miner who had this in his private collection please tell them that the stone has found a new home where it will be cherished and loved.
Just wanted to let you know that I received the ring last week without any damage. My fiancee just loves it! Thank you very much again for your excellent service. It’s been a real pleasure communicating with you and I am very pleased with the ring as well as your approach. I hope the business goes well and many more people get to know your website. It is all set up perfectly – all the pictures and video previews – so a person can get a very good picture of what he/she is into. Again, thank you!!
