discovering opals
OPAL OPTIONS
At Opal Options, we take great pride in offering Queensland Boulder Opals, often revered as the 'king' of all opals.
These vibrant, one-of-a-kind gems are now more accessible than ever, giving everyone the chance to own and appreciate their extraordinary natural beauty.
Our freeform opals are a true testament to nature's artistry, each one capturing a unique essence. These organic shapes offer jewelers a delightful challenge, sparking creativity in every custom setting. While freeform opals celebrate the stone’s natural form, we also understand that a more symmetrical cut can accentuate the opal’s inherent personality, allowing it to shine as the focal point of any design—something often lost in mass-produced stones.
At Opal Options, we’ve honed the craft of understanding each stone deeply before cutting, ensuring that the full spectrum of colours and brilliance is brought to life, just as nature intended.

Opals have been cherished in my family for over four generations. My great-grandparents once owned one of Australia’s richest boulder opal mines. Though they sold it before its full potential was realized in 1905, the love for these magnificent gems has only deepened through the years.
What began as a personal hobby has blossomed into a passionate endeavor, driven by my desire to share the extraordinary beauty of these opals with you. Each gem I work with is not only a piece of history but a masterpiece of nature, and I take great care to bring out its finest qualities.
My workshop has become a treasure trove of vibrant opals, and I believe they deserve to be admired and appreciated—not just by me, but by those who truly value their natural beauty. My greatest joy comes from seeing these gems find a new home where they can be treasured as much as I’ve loved creating them.
Thank you for being a part of this journey.
Cheers,
Max
