AUSTRALIAN OPAL JEWELLERY

Custom Australian Opal Jewellery

Bespoke rings, pendants and heirloom pieces designed around the colour, pattern and character of each individual opal.

We design and handcraft custom opal jewellery in our Queensland workshop, working with client-owned stones or carefully sourced Australian opals.


Australian opals are among the most beautiful and unique gemstones in the world – each one with its own fire, colour play, and character.

At MN Jewellery Design, we specialise in custom opal jewellery, working closely with an expert local opal cutter to source exceptional stones. Whether you're seeking a statement ring, meaningful pendant, or heirloom remodelling project - we create one-of-a-kind pieces that celebrate both the gem and its wearer.

Designed Around Your Opals

Create something special around a stone you already own, or we can source an exceptional Australian opal from our trusted opal cutters.

Australian Opals Deserve Individual Design

No two opals are alike. Their colours, patterns and character are unique, which is why we believe each piece should be designed specifically around the stone. Rather than fitting an opal into a pre-made setting, Matthew creates jewellery that showcases its natural beauty and individuality.

Every piece is custom designed around the individual gem and handcrafted in our Queensland workshop.

• Opal pendants
• Opal earrings
• Bespoke jewellery

How We Create Custom Opal Jewellery

Every project begins with the stone. Whether sourcing an exceptional Australian opal or working with one you already own, we design around its individual colours, shape and character.

Matthew works with a limited number of custom commissions at any one time to ensure each project receives personal attention.
