The Art of Jewelry: How Family, Nature, and Craftsmanship Inspire Every Piece at OpalOra Jewelry

OpalOra Jewelry is a one-woman-owned brand founded and run by me, Elisha. As a mother of two and a military spouse, I pour my heart into every piece I create, balancing family life and business with a deep passion for my craft. My journey into the world of fine jewelry has been shaped by a family deeply rooted in both the arts and sciences. My mother, with her extensive experience in the jewelry and fine art industries, along with my father and two brothers, who work in geology and paleontology, have created a unique and collaborative environment that has greatly influenced my approach to design.

While my father and brothers fostered my deep appreciation for the natural world, it was my mother who truly ignited my love for gemstones. I spent many years working alongside her, learning the intricacies of jewelry making, and discovering the rich lore and history behind each stone. Her passion for fine jewelry, combined with her eye for detail, taught me to view gemstones not just as beautiful objects, but as carriers of stories—unique treasures shaped by nature over time.

This family foundation of both creativity and scientific curiosity shapes every piece I design. I carefully select each opal and gemstone, drawn not only to their visual beauty but to the narratives they carry. Whether it’s the ever-changing colors of an opal or the raw, untouched textures of a gemstone, I see each stone as a testament to the forces of nature and a canvas for creative expression.

My jewelry reflects my dedication to both artistry and craftsmanship. Each piece is meticulously designed, creating one-of-a-kind, timeless designs that capture the essence of both nature and the human spirit. I strive to create jewelry that is not only stunning but also fun and expressive—a true reflection of my love for the art of creation.
