Artisans Bespoke Jewellers Scoops Up Coveted Award At The Australian Opal Awards Ceremony

Brisbane-based jewellers win the Open Prestige category at the Australian Opal Awards with their unique piece “Khroma”.

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia – August 29, 2024 —

The Australian Opal Awards 2024 held in August, launched as a celebration of jewellery designs and carvings from around the world and commemorates Australia’s national gemstone. It’s part of the International Opal Jewellery Design Awards Association (IOJDAA) and was met with huge responses from jewellers across Australia. Many jewellers fought for awards across numerous categories and one local jeweller from Brisbane, Artisans Bespoke Jewellers, scooped up the first place in the Open Prestige category. 

Artisans Bespoke Jewellers is the company in question and it won this award thanks to a one-of-a-kind piece called Khroma. Images of this piece are shown below and reflect the brand’s commitment to creating bespoke, handmade, art deco-inspired jewellery that highlights the beauty of Australian opals. This coveted award came with $15,000 in prize money at a gala event attended by over 250 people from all corners of the jewellery industry.

Locally-Sourced Australian Opals

The majesty of Khroma lies in its mesmeric 3.45ct cabochon cut crystal opal. This stunning Opal was ethically sourced from Lightning Ridge in New South Wales and is a celebration of what this country has to offer. Lightning Ridge is known throughout the world for its vibrant and colourful opals and Khroma takes this to new levels by combining it with incredible craftsmanship. 

Winning an award at the Australian Opal Awards is no mean feat due to stiff competition. These awards have been running for over two decades and this was one of the biggest ceremonies to date. Artisans Bespoke Jewellers knew it had to go above and beyond to secure a victory and Khroma reflects this with 18ct Yellow and White Gold accentuating the opal’s natural beauty. It took over 80 hours handcrafting and setting every detail, making it more than worthy of any award. 

Striving For International Recognition

Winning the Opal Prestige category at the Australian Opal Awards is a good enough achievement for most companies. Nevertheless, it’s merely the start of a growing legacy for Artisans Bespoke Jewellers. Since the ceremony, this piece has generated lots of international attention and led to the company being invited to the International Jewellery Design Excellence Awards in Hong Kong 2025. This is one of the most prestigious awards ceremonies in the world and gathers award-winning jewellers from countries across the planet.

Building on the domestic success of Khroma, the company will put forward Amelia, a bespoke transitional diamond-set clutch and necklace, in a bid to wow the judges. International acclaim is on the horizon and this could be the start of something special for Artisans Bespoke Jewellers.
