From One Cracked Large Boulder Opal to Unique Silver Jewellery
Updated: Oct 10
The Birth of the Sisters
When I was cutting a large blue boulder opal from Australia, something unexpected happened. The opal cracked into three completely different forms. It was a surprising moment, but it felt like magic. From this single stone, three unique pieces emerged.
We can think of them as sisters. The older sister is large and in charge, radiating confidence and beauty. The middle sister is always there for the other two, offering support and warmth. And then, there’s the little sister, full of trouble and fire, bringing a spark of excitement to the group.
Crafting with Care
Each of these stunning pieces is set in sterling silver, handcrafted with love in my Corsham workshop. I take great pride in creating jewellery that tells a story. Every piece is unique, just like the sisters themselves.
The process of transforming raw materials into beautiful jewellery is incredibly fulfilling. It allows us to express our creativity while honouring the natural beauty of the stones. We believe that every piece should not only look beautiful but also carry a sense of history and individuality.
The Journey of the Sisters
As we continue to work on these pieces, we are excited to share them with you. The other two sisters will be joining the first one on the website soon. Each sister has her own personality and charm, and we can’t wait for you to meet them!
We envision these pieces finding their way to those who appreciate unique, handcrafted, and ethically made silver jewellery. Our goal is to connect with individuals who value bespoke designs and sustainable practices.

At Long John Silver, we are passionate about creating jewellery that stands out. We believe that everyone deserves to wear something special. Our designs are not just accessories; they are expressions of art.
