Foley Opals and Gemstones
Address
We appreciate you taking the time to visit our shop. My jewelry journey began with a childhood fascination with rocks.
As a child in Beckley, West Virginia, I frequently explored the mountains for sandstone and shale to uncover Paleozoic plant fossils. Fast forward to being an adult and married, both me and my wife always enjoyed rock hounding.
Our interest in lapidary work only became serious after we started watching Outback Opal Hunters. We both learned the art of cabochon-making with Coober Pedy opal. Having cut our fair share of opals, we moved on to buying settings.
We quickly learned that silversmithing was necessary to avoid restrictions on stone size imposed by other settings.
Having sold jewelry at events for some time, we’re pleased to expand our business online.
