Welcome to opalholicsanonymous.com where opal season lasts forever.

Here's another one from Jason at Black Opal Direct, and this fossilized shell is quite spectacular before he even dives into it. I have a fossilized shell I bought from our member mick who's a miner in Oz many years ago, but it only has a bit of color so there's no comparison with this. This one is ...

I'm loving this adorable piece, and quite frankly if I thought I could handle it I'd love to have a ring-tail lemur for a pet. Unfortunately for me that won't happen any more than me acquiring this brooch will happen since, even if I could afford it, it already sold at auction. :lol: Piece of the We...

Even though sales fell over the course of the year, Watches of Switzerland's sales here in the U.S. remained strong, and they recently acquired Roberto Coin so things should get even better for them this year. Here's how things went for WOS, and what the future may hold for them if they play their c...

These are precarious times for De Beers who appears to have arrived at a precipice that could throw it off in either direction; continued longevity and success, or it could signal the end for De Beers, which would be tragic for the trade if they lose such a big name. Here's what Rob Bates is reporti...

Either my eyes are deceiving me or there are no hearts in this article on 'heart pieces' in vintage jewels. The least they could have done is shown us some such jewels, but not that I can see so if you find any in these pics please point them out to me. :roll: Adriana Carrig Makes Heart Pieces a Tre...

Uhh, no, and I would hardly call these 'remarkable'. :roll: In my world only kids' jewelry might be made out of carbon fiber, not fine jewels, and these might as well have been made from old tires if you ask me. If you feel the same, at the end of the article they tell you where their booth will be ...

Wow, I've seen one of these caves before but this shows there are quite of few more of them in various places around the globe, and the investigation tries to explain the differences in the crystal formations in the various caves. I hope you find this one as interesting and informative as I did. 8-)...

I was surprised to read this since the last we heard was that after the cyberattack they were left with a non-functioning website, which is still down so they did this live auction on YT, so kudos to them for pulling this off despite that setback. Here's what was sold, and quite a few of them went f...

Here's the latest advice from Lillian Raji for designers, on how to capitalize on free PR, such as was given to the designer in this article. She always has good ideas and her prime objective is to help others make the most of what they're doing so I hope you find this both interesting and informati...

Looks like there's a shakeup going on in the diamond mining industry with Anglo announcing they plan to divest themselves of their De Beers holdings last week, and now Lucapa wanting to dump its Mothae mine in lesotho. We'll have to wait to see how all these divestments play out. ;) Lucapa to Shed S...
