The history of the opal 

Opals have inspired many myths in cultures the world over. One in particular is that these gems are the physical embodiment of the rainbow goddess who fell to earth from the lofty heavens. Another is that opals are a symbol of all virtues as all the colours (related to another stone) are all represented in the multicoloured stone. 

Opals have been a staple in the Australian jewellery industry too, boasting some of the world’s best quality opals. Excavation of the stones began in the mid 19th century in NSW, spreading to other prime locations and creating a thriving industry. Opal production sat at $46+ million in 2008, supporting many communities in the nation. 

It’s no wonder the opal is Australia’s national stone, also known to the aborigines as “fire in the desert.”

Purple May Jewellery 

Our opal jewellery showcases Purple May’s dedication to artisanal crafted jewels that can be worn for all occasions. From our opal earrings to our necklaces and rings.

Not only do our gold based earrings boast high quality materials and skilled craftsmanship, but our unique set stones, including others such as pearls, topaz, sapphire, tourmaline, add an incredible touch of personalisation and character to each item.
