About PTO…
At Precious Time Opals we believe that the passage of time is a beautiful thing. If we are able to be appreciate that time, it is full of rich opportunity to become intimate with ourselves, life, the world, reality and our loved ones.
We believe the perception and appreciation of beauty is one of the best ways to make use of that time, and that the expression of sentiment is a beautiful means of expressing gratitude to those around us, or ourselves, for sharing the richness of life.
Sentiment can be a way to be with the ones you love in memory and presence. We think the connection that sentiment creates to the world and our sense of belonging, is very precious.
So you can be assured that at Precious Time Opals, we have taken great time and care to craft each piece of opal with the attentiveness required to properly appreciate beauty. And that each piece of opal is cut to best display its hidden colour and capture the millions of years that it has taken for such beauty to form.
We sincerely hope that our opals help you to come into contact with the beauty in the world, the preciousness of life and this unique opportunity to truly appreciate the passage of time.

We love hearing from you and meeting our customers.
We are based in Melbourne, Australia, so if you live in Melbourne or are passing through , please get in contact with us as we would be happy to arrange a time to meet in person so you can meet the maker, see, and handle a few of the opals that have captured your eye.
We do have an Instagram page, however we prefer doing things the traditional way. We feel that word of mouth is the most reliable and believable form of promotion.
So if you really want to express gratitude, then tell people about our website or Instagram whenever it comes up in conversation.
We are a small business with an even smaller team so every form of advertising is significant and greatly appreciated!
Thankyou and best wishes - PTO
