Unique Opal Mine - Australian Opal Jewelry Adelaide

I was traveling in Australia in 2024, Adelaide was one of our first stops. I was very interested in opals since they are particularly Australian. Adrian at Unique Opal Mine was such a great teacher, and considerate helper in my mission to find a unique opal. He showed me how opals were cut and polished in their little museum, sent me to see one of the world‘s greatest opals at the Adelaide museum, and helped me make a choice about what I would take home. I bought two loose stones and had them set by a jeweler here at home. They are both unique pieces and get lots of compliments. If you’re looking for an unusual opal you can’t go wrong with unique Opal mine.

Must visit for tourists and locals alike. Friendly, informative, good value, wholesome experience. Allow time (about 30 minutes or an hour) to get the full experience, not a place to rush. Browse the range and explore the "Opal mine", chat with the knowledgeable staff. Practical place to get out of the weather, or simply pause and explore.

Unique Opal Mine did such an amazing job with my ring! The opal was originally my Granny's before she passed away and I've always wanted it made into a ring I could wear. So happy with the result!! Huge thanks to Elijah who was such a big help!

Fabulous handmade opals of the highest quality! My husband has 250+ cufflinks and these are definitely in his top 3 now (that is high praise as I’ve had several made for him bespoke). Also a beautiful, delicate silver bracelet for our daughter with small flowers and beautiful stones. The owner/artisan maker is a lovely guy who made us welcome and no pressure purchasing etc. underground mock up of an opal mine under the shop which is where he makes all the products. Great find.

My partner purchased this beautiful white opal ring for me in December. I recently noticed that one zirconia on the side was missing. They fixed it and polished the ring for free on the day I brought it back to the shop. Amazing service. My partner and I are so happy. Thank you so much.

Great experience at Unique Opal Mines!! Everyone was so welcoming and generous with their time. Incredible range of opal jewellery, and amazing quality. There is also a museum downstairs which was super interesting to view. Would 100% recommend coming here as it is a must!! We bought a beautiful and unique opal ring.

We went to the mine this afternoon and had a blast! We pretty much got a private lesson by Adrian who is very knowledgeable and told us all about solid, doubles, and triplets Opals! We went to the mini-museum where they showcase the mining operations and how Opals are found all over Australia, and we even got to learn the difference between black opal and white opal! I never knew you could find fossils encased in opal, amazing! Got a nice pair of earrings for my wife and might drop by again to get a new ring as well! I would highly recommend!

We had my engagement ring custom made through Unique Opal Mine and it was such a great experience. They posted it to us but kept us updated on the progress the whole time. Came back recently to have the ring cleaned and re-plated for only $75! Ring looks pristine again. The photos do not do justice for how much the diamonds sparkle and the beautiful colours in the opal. Recommend the team highly!
