Which Opals are the Best Opals?
Though the question is subjective, Australia is most eminent for its opals, producing over 95% of the world’s supply. Some of the best known types of opal stone in Australia are:
- Black Opal - arguably the best based on their value
- Boulder Opal
- Crystal Opal
- White Opal
Here at NIXIN Jewelry Australian Opal is our favorite type of opal stone to work with. And when creating opal earrings, we happen to love a mismatched pair.
But which opal is best? We believe that it's the one you love most.
Real Reviews from Real Customers
Let customers speak for us
from 93 reviewsThis is my second purchase from this seller and just like last time, expectations exceeded! Her pieces are unique and stunning! If you love opals this is your seller!

I was thoroughly impressed from the first interaction. Swift and sufficient communication, anticipation of needs and the ability and willingness to exceed expectations by miles-that’s what i noticed initially. Her service should be the benchmark by which all others are judged. The ring itself was exactly as pictured and upon initial inspection it was quite clear that it was well made with attention to detail and quality materials. I am so thankful there are people like her and i appreciate someone who clearly does what they do with genuine care and passion.

I LOVE buying jewelry from NIXIN! It’s ALWAYS such a treat! These earrings are small but they are stunning and so easy to wear. The emeralds sparkle like only Nicki and her team can make a gem shine. The opals are a perfect compliment to the rich green of the emeralds! From placing the order, to claiming my rewards, and receiving the carefully and beautifully wrapped package which proclaims, ‘I deserve this very special jewel’ the experience is consistently flawless! The experience makes me look forward to ‘next time’. 💖

WOW 🤩 If you want your jewelry to sparkle like new without having to worry about harming your gems, including your precious opals, you must try this cleaner! I have just finished going through ALL my jewelry, even those pieces I had given up on from decades past, and I cannot believe how fresh and new every single piece sparkles and shines! I’ve tried so many products sold to me by other jewelers only to be disappointed. Cleaning my opals always scared me to death! And silver jewelry, I would end up putting those pieces aside. I have a silver ‘Initial Necklace’ from Tiffany’s which turned dark grey. In a half an hour, it looked as shiny as when I bought it 10 years ago! It was amazing!!! If Nicki recommended it, I felt safe to use it on all my jewelry. I highly encourage collectors to buy this product. I now have refurbished my whole collection! It is the only jewelry cleaning product that I have ever used that I didn’t have to ‘work’ at getting an item super sparkly! Spray, brush lightly and rinse! Thanks Nicki!!

Exceptional from first glance!! A+++ communication, service and art.

So beautiful!! Lovely earrings. So happy with my purchase.

Gorgeous necklace! Top notch communication from seller and very fast shipping! Couldn’t be happier!

This cleaner works wonderful!

The Celestial ring is exactly what I was hoping for - understated elegance and beauty. Customer service was fabulous. Will be watching this shop for other items.

Not only are Nicki’s designs absolutely stunning— she’s absolutely wonderful to work with. Responsive, considerate, professional and fun— felt like I was working with a friend!
Whenever I’m having a crappy day, I peruse her designs for a quick smile. The pictures don’t do it justice, wait until you have one of these stunners in your hands!

Beautiful purchase - Niki was excellent with shipping details.

I LOVE it !!!!!!
Great transaction, great communication, perfect and beautiful in every way !!!
I will be back for more !!!

Answers to frequently asked questions
Opal Earrings FAQs
Do your earrings come with backings?
All NIXIN stud earrings come with secure, 14k or 18k gold backs to match the karat of the gold earring. Drop earrings featuring ear wires do not have additional components. Hardware is carefully selected to uniquely suit each design.
Are your opal earrings lightweight?
Almost always. This is a subjective question, but we are rather sensitive to heavy earrings that tug on the lobe and bear this in mind when designing our opal earrings. Occasionally, we'll chance a heavier pair of earrings, but the vast majority are quite light.
Can I order just one earring as a replacement?
In some cases, yes. Contact us directly with your request—we may be able to recreate a matching earring or offer a creative solution.
Are your earrings made in the U.S.?
Yes. Every NIXIN earring is crafted in the United States, blending old-world craftsmanship with contemporary design. Our Collection is not mass produced - each piece is meticulously crafted right here in Los Angeles.
Do you make matching sets of jewelry to coordinate with your earrings?
Typically we don't. Our aesthetic is less a yearning for the perfect match, and more keen on the ultimate complement. Select earrings may beautifully coordinate with NIXIN necklaces or rings, though each design is created to stand alone as a statement. Explore our Opal Jewelry Collection for curated pairings.
What styles of earrings does NIXIN offer?
Our collections feature studs, drops, and statement earrings. Each piece is designed to highlight the stone's uniqueness while offering versatile luxury.
