Through the Australian jewelry brand Opal Minded, Renata Bernard creates contemporary jewelry featuring gorgeous opals sourced from Australia's renowned opal mines. Her pendant necklaces, cocktail rings and dangle earrings showcase the beauty of the multicolored gemstone. She also designs one-of-a-kind opal engagement rings as striking alternatives to classic diamond rings.
Bernard moved to Australia from Eastern Europe in 1994 with only $100 in her wallet. She met and later married John Bernard, who had founded Opal Minded in Sydney in 1989. The brand is dedicated solely to opal jewelry made from stones unearthed from its own Queensland mines. While Australia is not the only source of opals in the world, it provides some of the rarest and most sought-after stones.
An ex-academic with a Ph.D. in cinema, Bernard fell in love with opals after meeting her husband. She became an accredited gemologist and valuer and took up the position of creative director at Opal Minded. She now designs every piece of Opal Minded jewelry in-house at the company’s design studio in the Dymocks Building in Sydney. The pieces are sold in Opal Minded’s chic boutique in The Rocks, a historic Sydney neighborhood.
Bernard reveals the inner beauty of Australian opals with jewelry ranging from understated bracelets that allow the stones to shine to glamorous necklaces with sparkling diamond embellishments. She finds inspiration everywhere, such as the organic forms in nature and the clean lines of modern architecture. By approaching every stone individually, she creates keepsakes made to be passed down through generations.

- Australian Natural Untreated 17.53ct Pipe Opal Diamond Cocktail Ring 18K GoldBy Renata BernardLocated in Sydney, AUMysterious and magical, “Deep Love” opal ring is evocative of an ocean dive on a lazy summer day. A superb 17.53 carat pipe opal from our own mines in Jundah-Opalville is the star of this bold and impressive cocktail ring. The unusual 18K yellow gold setting with its flash of twinkling diamonds make this piece is something special. Designed by Renata Bernard. The gemstone at the centre of this opal ring is an Australian pipe boulder opal from Opal Minded's own opal mines in Jundah-Opalville in Queensland. This gem is particularly exciting for its size and brightness. Jundah-Opalville opal fields are known in the opal industry for the outstanding quality of pipe opal they (occasionally) reveal. Pipe boulder opal is an organic-matter-replacement opal that forms in iron-ore bearing rocks. Its distinctive quality is the "play of colour" present in mostly translucent gem material, a phenomenon which manifests in opal's colours shifting and changing as the gem moves. Australian opals, in general, are the quality benchmark for the world family of opals owing to their durability and beauty. This particular opal is transparent and attached naturally to the host rock in which it was found. Outstanding in size and quality, its play of colour is suspended in the otherwise transparent opal...Category
