This photo was taken of us after a few full on weeks of mining, & it had been tough on us.
As we've mentioned before Opal mining is not for the faint hearted. You have to be physically & mentally able to deal with all that this place throws at you...
Some days we feel like winners, other days not so much.
But being able to do what we do together, being able to laugh & cry as we work, being able to throw tantrums over breakdowns of equipment & fuel being stolen out of our machinery & then jumping for joy because we found colour all in the same day is what makes it exciting.
And then after all of this we take these gorgeous gems home, cut and polish them, and set them into jewellery for you which is truly a gift we don't take for granted.
We are so grateful to be able to share with you from start to finish a piece of jewellery you will treasure forever with a little bit of our story, our love & grit in every single piece.
In this world of fast made jewellery, machine made jewellery, stones dug with no ethics or even knowing where they came from being the new normal, we know you'll feel & see a difference in the jewellery we make.
It's the quality, love & passion we put into everything we do that makes the difference x
