Tobias Opals Jewelry Design

Welcome to my design page! The images below are not finished pieces of jewelry, but are graphic sketches for jewelry that can be made for you by your own jeweler. I will be adding new ideas for jewelry using the opals and stones from my site as time goes by.

I have been an artist and a designer since I was a child and was raised in a home of artists and designers. My Grandmother was a painter, my mother was a fabric designer and my father was a logo designer for hotels and other businesses.

In the 1960's I did wax's for Tiffany. In that job I saw so many stones of great beauty, but when an opal came around I would always get excited because they are such magical stones. The ancients thought opals were good luck to wear close to the skin. They were so admired for their unusual beauty whether subtle or bright.

On my web page you may find an opal that you would like to own with a design that is done for you. Many people find it hard to locate a piece of jewelry that meets their personal vision and sometimes settle for a piece that is close to what they are looking for. Jewelry is so personal.

I charge $150 per hour for my design time. Most designs take one to two hours to complete. I will work with you using your ideas to inspire a beautiful timeless piece of jewelry. All designs are designed in 22kt gold for maximum beauty. If you do not like free form opals and stones, I can fashion the opal or stone to your liking.

ALL DESIGN WORK REQUIRES A 50% DEPOSIT PAID BEFORE WORK ON DESIGN  BEGINS.
