The Australian Opal Cutters Shopping Experience

Discover Australian opal in the heart of Sydney.

Visiting Australian Opal Cutters is more than a shopping trip. It is an opportunity to see, understand and choose one of Australia’s most remarkable natural treasures with guidance from people who have spent decades cutting, valuing and creating with opal.

A genuine Sydney opal destination

Our showroom and workshop are located on Level 3 of Park House at 295–301 Pitt Street, Sydney, close to Town Hall and the Queen Victoria Building. Inside, visitors can explore an extensive collection of Australian opals, loose gemstones and finished jewellery in a relaxed, welcoming setting.

Whether you are searching for a meaningful souvenir, an engagement ring, a one-of-a-kind collector’s stone or a custom piece of jewellery, our team will help you compare opal types, colours, patterns, settings and price points without pressure.

See rare Australian opals up close

Australian Opal Cutters offers black opal, boulder opal, crystal opal, light opal, doublet opal and triplet opal, including stones sourced from famous Australian fields such as Lightning Ridge, Coober Pedy and Queensland.

Because every opal is naturally unique, the best way to understand one is to see how it responds to movement and light. Our team can show you the play-of-colour, body tone, pattern, brightness and character that make each stone different.

Expert guidance from opal specialists

Australian Opal Cutters is a family business with a history dating back to 1967. Our experience spans opal cutting, gemstone assessment, jewellery design, restoration and custom manufacture.

We explain the differences between natural solid opal, doublets and triplets, how opal value is determined, how to care for your jewellery and which style is most suitable for everyday wear, gifting or collecting. The goal is simple: to help you make a confident, informed choice.

Create something entirely your own

For clients seeking a truly personal piece, our custom jewellery service brings together the natural individuality of Australian opal with a design created around your story, taste and budget.

Choose from sterling silver, gold or platinum, and work with our team to develop a ring, pendant, earrings, brooch or other bespoke design. Existing jewellery can also be assessed for redesign, repair, resizing or the resetting of an opal.

Try the genuine opal cutting experience

Australian Opal Cutters offers a genuine hands-on opal cutting experience in Sydney. Under expert guidance, participants learn how rough opal is examined, shaped, sanded and polished, then take home the opal they have worked on.

It is a memorable experience for visitors, families, couples, gemstone enthusiasts and anyone who wants to understand the craftsmanship behind Australian opal.
