Opal Jewelers Parcels
An opal jewelers parcel is a curated lot of solid Australian opals sold together at wholesale pricing, designed for jewelers, designers, and collectors who want a working selection of stones across different sizes, shapes, colors, and patterns. Opal Galaxy parcels include solid black opal, boulder opal, crystal opal, and white opal sourced directly from Lightning Ridge, Coober Pedy, and the Queensland fields, with each stone individually weighed, measured, and photographed. Buying as a parcel gives jewelers better margins per stone, a wider design range to work with, and access to matched pairs and sets that are harder to find as single stone purchases. Below is a full guide to opal jewelers parcels, covering what is included, how they are priced, and how to choose the right parcel for your jewelry business.
Opal Jewelers Parcels for Jewelers and Designers
When sourcing opals for jewelry, quality and consistency are essential. Many jewelers and designers prefer working with opal parcels, which offer a cohesive selection of stones that share similar size, shape, and color characteristics.
At Opal Galaxy, we provide only natural untreated solid opals from trusted Australian sources.
Every parcel contains ethically mined gemstones ready for rings, pendants, earrings, and fine jewelry settings.
Why Calibrated Opal Parcels Are Valuable
Calibrated opals are cut and polished to standardized dimensions, making them highly suitable for jewelry production.
This consistency allows for easy setting and pairing in matching pieces such as:
• Earrings and pendant sets
• Multi stone rings
• Cluster pendants
• Bracelets and cuffs
• Custom gemstone collections
Common shapes include oval, round, pear, teardrop, heart, and marquise. Each parcel typically includes between two and twenty stones, giving jewelers creative flexibility while ensuring a harmonious look across pieces.
Crystal Opals from Coober Pedy
Crystal opal parcels from Coober Pedy are especially popular with professional jewelers.
These opals are known for their clarity and soft pastel fire, often showing pinks, greens, and light blues with gentle transparency.
Most are fully calibrated, meaning they are precision cut to standard jewelry sizes such as 9×7 mm and 8×5 mm 7×5 mm.
These ready to set stones are ideal for creating polished and professional designs without the need for custom lapidary work.
Coober Pedy opals remain a preferred choice for both classic and modern settings.
The Advantages of Buying Opals in Parcels
Purchasing a parcel of opals is often more economical than sourcing individual stones.
Jewelers gain access to matching or complementary opals that work beautifully in coordinated designs.
Parcels also help reduce sourcing time and ensure a unified aesthetic in finished jewelry.
For those producing collections or working with bespoke clients, parcels offer both value and creative flexibility.
What Makes Boulder Opal Parcels Special
Boulder opals are a distinct type of opal found naturally within ironstone matrix.
These Australian stones are prized for their earthy body tone, rich texture, and bright flashes of color.
At Opal Galaxy, we offer natural solid boulder opal parcels sourced from regions such as Winton, Koroit, and Yowah.
These parcels often contain freeform stones with dramatic surfaces and wild patterns, ideal for statement pendants and one of a kind jewelry pieces.
Boulder opals are especially loved by designers who value organic aesthetics.
No two stones are ever the same, allowing for creative designs that feel grounded in nature and rich in visual story.
Why Opal Galaxy Does Not Offer Doublets
Doublets are stones made by gluing a thin slice of opal onto a dark backing material to enhance the appearance of color.
While these can be bright and more affordable, they are not solid opals and tend to be less durable over time.
At Opal Galaxy, we do not offer doublets or triplets.
Our focus is entirely on natural untreated solid opals that are cut to bring out their true natural brilliance without artificial enhancement.
