At PETRALO, we’ve always held a special love for opal—a gemstone unlike any other. While diamonds sparkle and sapphires shine, opals glow with an inner fire that feels alive. Their ever-shifting colors and fluid light make them more than beautiful—they’re deeply expressive, a gem that reflects emotion, energy, and individuality.
That’s why we work exclusively with natural crystal opals from Australia, widely regarded as the most beautiful and stable opals in the world.
We never use synthetic or African opals, which are often less stable and prone to cracking. These alternatives lack the depth, brilliance, and distinctive fire found only in genuine Australian stones.
We’re especially drawn to crystal opal’s translucent body and vivid play-of-color. Shifting between blue-green and red-violet tones, each stone has a dreamlike glow that pairs effortlessly with both modern design and everyday wear.
Every opal we use is untreated, hand-selected, and chosen for its exceptional clarity, color, and durability—ensuring your jewelry remains timeless and radiant. Whether set in 14k or 18k gold, each opal brings a luminous energy to our pieces—not just a gem, but a living expression of color and light.
Because no two Australian opals are ever the same, every PETRALO design is truly one of a kind—just like the person who wears it.
