Opal Carvings

Opal carvings combine natural and human craftsmanship into a single artform. Our striking range of carved opals take inspiration from a number of natural sources, bringing them to life through intricate designs and sculpting techniques. Our collection of boulder opal carvings are available to purchase from our Sydney CBD store.

The History and Art of Opal Carving

Carving opals into striking pieces of art is a process that dates back centuries. Opal carving emerged as artisans began to appreciate that opals could be sculpted into eye-catching displays. Opal carving retains the lustre, vibrance and colour play of the opal as a starting point and transforms it into a unique sculpture. Today, opal carving remains a rewarding process, transforming pieces of the rare gemstone into striking boulder opal carvings.

The Process of Creating a Carved Opal

Our exquisite opal carvings are the result of a delicate and skilful process, which begins with grading and selecting the appropriate opal. Once the selection has been made, the boulder opal carving starts to take shape over hours of meticulous  aesthetically stunning artform.
