About us

Welcome to our little shop in Ebeltoft which we operate jointly, where Hans is responsible for digging opals in our mine in Australia and the grinding of the raw opals. Helle runs the shop and is responsible for polishing the opals and designing the opal jewellery.

Hans emigrated to Australia in 1990 and after spending 18 months while traveling around Australia, he decided to travel to Lightning Ridge and try life as an opal digger. He met Helle, who was also on holiday, and persuaded her to join him on an adventure.

Fast forward to 2004 and they had spent 12 years in Lightning Ridge, where they had mixed luck with the opal engraving, but they never lost their passion for opals and when the opportunity to buy a new mine came they jumped at it right away. It is mine they still work today.

In 2016 they moved back to Denmark and in 2018 they took over the jeweler's shop in Ebeltoft, where they sell jewelery and watches, but specialize in genuine Australian opals and opal jewellery.
