Welcome to the colorful journey of Paul Sedawie, a lifelong enthusiast of opals. Paul's fascination with these gemstones began at the tender age of 14 when he acquired his first boulder rough. Entranced by their natural beauty and vibrant colors, Paul embarked on a remarkable adventure in 1989, moving to Lightning Ridge to own an opal claim. Despite the challenges of mining, the experience bestowed upon him priceless memories and a deep respect for the craft. Today, Paul's journey has evolved, transitioning from mining to curating exquisite opals from partnerships and miners worldwide. With a keen eye for quality, he meticulously oversees the cutting process, personally crafting the finest black opals.
