Lulu and Derrick are amazing. Kind people who are genuine and do beautiful work. I’ll never get my jewelry from anywhere else now that my fiancé and I have found them. After I got my first custom pendant from them we’ve ordered our wedding bands and also my engagement ring came custom from them. I would recommend them to everyone!

Derrick was super helpful and remade a tear drop chlorastrolite ring for me within 90 minutes! Their selection of gems and natural stones is really impressive. I highly recommend. We'll be back to have custom earrings made!

I was on vacation in Michigan and wanted a Petoskey ring as a souvenir. Since I wasn't dazzled by the Petoskey rings available in the touristy shops, I inquired at this shop to see if I could get something custom made with a found uncut Petoskey stone. Derrick is so nice and knowledgeable! The ring is beautiful, exactly what I wanted, and it shipped so quickly! I will definitely be coming back next time I'm in Michigan. Thank you, Derrick!

I was looking for a ring for my wife, specifically her birthstone and the birthstones of our twin babies.I did the usual search on Etsy. However, looking carefully at the photos of several rings that I liked, you could tell that they were not of the best quality. Stone settings were crooked and the craftsmanship was not great.Then I found Opalus and inquired about doing a custom job. I described the kind of ring I had in mind. They were able to mock up a design and were able to locally source some great stones. All at a great price.Wife loved the ring. Service was great and will go back for any custom jewelry needs.

They have a huge variety of cut opals, plus many other gemstones (but seriously, you need to see the opals the owners hudband cut himself!) highly recommend for anyone stopping in downtown Rochester.
