About

The story of Rocci Opals is a testament to passion, dedication, and the beauty of natural craftsmanship. Founded over three decades ago in Adelaide, Australia, by the self-taught opal cutter and jewelry designer, Rocky Carbone, the business stands as a beacon of authentic artistry in the world of jewelry.

Originating from Italy, Rocky's journey to Australia over half a century ago marked the beginning of a love affair with opals. It was a trip to Cooper Pedy that ignited his passion for the natural Solid Opal, a gemstone that would soon become the centerpiece of his creative endeavors. Today, pieces designed by Rocky, infused with his passion for these opals, adorn individuals across the globe.

Rocky's commitment to authenticity is evident in his approach. He travels to the remote opal fields in Queensland, ensuring he sources the natural Rough Opal directly from the miners. This hands-on approach guarantees the authenticity and quality of every gemstone. Once procured, Rocky meticulously cuts and polishes the boulder, transforming it into a finished gemstone that perfectly complements his creative designs.

The legacy of Rocci Opals is set to continue and evolve with the introduction of Adam, Rocky's son, into the family business. Adam brings a fresh perspective, introducing new styles and skills that beautifully meld with Rocky's traditional techniques. Their combined expertise ensures that every piece of opal jewelry achieves its free-form shape, reflecting both tradition and modernity.

In the words of the artisans at Rocci Opals, "By personally handpicking and cutting all our own opals, each piece is uniquely cut and carefully crafted to create a modern range of jewelry that is unique and exclusive." This ethos captures the essence of Rocci Opals – a blend of tradition, passion, and modern design.
