Flame Opals

Flame Opals is in the heart of The Rocks on George Street, opposite Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art, on a site that was a part of Australia’s earliest European settlement. This family business has been selling opals, and only opals, at the same address since 1973. The staff at Flame Opals are amongst the most experienced in the business and create a friendly, informative and relaxed shopping experience. This makes a visit to Flame Opals a great first step into the world of these amazing gems. If, on the other hand, you are already suffering from the delights of an ‘opal addiction’ your cravings can be met here.

As well as a wide range of unset solid black, white and boulder opals (starting at under $100), the store also stocks opal jewellery in 18 carat gold or sterling silver, hand-made by some of Australia’s finest craftspeople. They also carry a select collection of world-class investment stones. Flame Opals is the only opal store in Sydney recommended in both the international tourist guides, Fodor’s and Frommer’s. This might be because of their single-minded focus on solid opals, what they call “the most original of gems”. Flame Opals really has earned its position as Sydney’s Opal Specialist.
