About Rocci Opals
Rocci Opals: A Legacy of Passion and Craftsmanship
Rocci Opals, a family-owned business nestled in Adelaide, Australia, stands as a beacon of creativity and craftsmanship in the world of opal jewelry. Founded over 30 years ago by the self-taught opal cutter and jewelry designer, Rocky Carbone, the company embodies a legacy of passion and innovation. Rocky finds his greatest reward in the joy that people experience when they see, own, and wear the exquisite pieces from his collection, aptly referred to as "My Jewellery".
Over half a century ago, Rocky embarked on a journey from Italy to Australia, a move that would mark the beginning of a remarkable career in jewelry design. His passion for natural solid opals blossomed during a transformative trip to Cooper Pedy, fueling his desire to create pieces that are now adorned by individuals across the globe. Specializing in sourcing natural solid opals from Queensland, Australia, Rocky has honed his craft to perfection, transforming rough opals into finished gemstones that complement his creative designs.
Rocky's frequent visits to the opal fields in Queensland allow him to purchase natural rough opals directly from the miners. This hands-on approach ensures that each gemstone is handpicked, cut, and polished to suit his artistic vision. In recent years, his son Adam joined the family business, infusing it with fresh styles and skills that beautifully complement Rocky's expertise. Together, they work harmoniously, bringing each piece of opal jewelry to life in a free-form shape that is both unique and exclusive.
"At Rocci Opals, we take pride in personally handpicking and cutting all our own opals. Each piece is uniquely crafted, embodying a modern range of jewelry that stands as a testament to our commitment to exclusivity and excellence."
