Ethically Mined Boulder Opals

The opals used in Proud Maddison jewelry are authentic boulder opal from the heart of Queensland Australia, sourced from a small family owned, woman-run opal mining operation. Sue and her team run their standard operating procedures based on mateship, a fair go for all and a respect for the land that they mine. They are a socially and environmentally responsible company mining small sections of land at a time and rejuvenating the land when they are done. They use traditional techniques to mine, cut and polish all opal on site and in house. No outsourcing needed. This process not only brings you the world’s highest quality precious opals but the ethical traceable story of where that opal came from.
