Yes. Every piece begins with me hand-selecting each gemstone. I meticulously search for opals, sapphires, garnets, and other stones with exceptional beauty and character—no two are alike. Each is then handcrafted in my studio using 14k gold, gold-filled, sterling silver, vermeil, and Continuum silver. Since 2015, my goal has been creating jewelry that's both timeless and effortlessly wearable, pieces you'll reach for every day.

OpalOra Jewelry is a home-based studio, where each piece is crafted with care and intention. While I do not operate a storefront, you are warmly invited to experience the collections in person at the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show (January–February) at the Mineral and Fossil Co-Op, or at the Denver Gem Show in September. For private viewings, additional photos, or custom inquiries, please reach out via email—I would be delighted to guide you through the collection.

My designs are primarily inspired by my own creativity and collections, but I do occasionally take on personalized commissions that align with my style and workshop capabilities. If you have an idea, feel free to reach out—I would be happy to discuss whether it’s a fit and explore how we might bring it to life together.

Every piece is handcrafted with care and arrives beautifully packaged in a refined jewelry box and pouch, ready to delight. Domestic shipments typically arrive within 2–9 business days. International shipping is available—please contact me for a personalized quote.

Orders may be canceled within 5 hours by emailing sales@opalorajewelry.com. Eligible returns are accepted within 7 days for unworn, original-condition items, excluding custom or sale pieces. Each request is handled personally to ensure a seamless experience.

Your jewelry features exquisite gemstones—including AAA Ethiopian opals, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and more—along with precious metals like 14k solid gold, gold filled, gold vermeil, and sterling silver. All require gentle care to maintain their beauty.

Always remove your jewelry before washing hands, showering, or doing hard jobs or strenuous work. Keep your pieces away from harsh chemicals, lotions, perfumes, excessive moisture, and heat.

For opals specifically, handle with extra care and avoid prolonged water exposure. For gold-filled and vermeil pieces, avoid water and chemicals to preserve the plating. Sterling silver may develop a natural patina over time—gently polish with a silver cloth to restore shine.

When not wearing your jewelry, store each piece separately in a soft pouch to prevent scratching. Clean gently with a soft cloth to maintain brilliance and shine for years to come.

Yes. I personally handle repairs and stone replacements to restore each piece to its original elegance. Fees apply based on the work required, and shipping is typically the client’s responsibility.
