About Us
Our Story
The Opal Dealer was established in 2018 by Alex and Keely after discovering our passion for ring making. From moissanite to Koa wood, a whole new world of possibilities was unlocked for our new inlay hobby. However, nothing quite caught our eye like Crushed Opal. This inspired us to open our own shop and share the joys of working with your hands with others!
Our love for opals has been the driving force behind our growth. What started with a focus on Crushed Opal has now expanded to include a diverse range of products. Today, we proudly offer Crushed Opal, Opal Beads, Opal Stones, and more!

Substantiality and Ethics

Our gemstones are created in an ISO14001-certified facility, ensuring adherence to rigorous environmental management standards. The facility is equipped with an advanced wastewater treatment system to meet strict environmental regulations, preventing pollution of water bodies.
We are also firmly against child labor, slave labor, and any form of exploitation in our production process. Our mission is to deliver quality lab gemstones worldwide while upholding the highest standards of environmental responsibility and human rights.
