About Us

Welcome to Opal Republic, a luxury jewelry brand founded in Kuwait in 2019 with a view to providing precious gemstones, specifically Australian black opals, jewelry pieces to customers. 

The rarity and beauty of Black Opals has always captivated Opal Republic’s founder, Mrs. Shaima Al Momen, and this captivation lead her to establish the brand with a mission to offer unique pieces to its valuable customers, with black opals and gemstones as the center of design. Shaima’s chemical engineering degree was the bedrock upon which she established and grew her knowledge in gemstones, and assisting her in her gemology studies at the prestigious Gemological Institute of America (GIA).

Being the first brand in the region to center around black opals and gemstones, we opt to reflect the rarity of the gemstones in the rarity of the pieces!  

It is Opal Republic’s mission to provide our customers with unique, high quality jewelry! We do that by offering bespoke designs that are tailored to their individual style and taste. We do that while striving for perfection, and working only with artisans that share that value and reflect it in their artwork to end up with perfectly made pieces for our beloved customers.

Our vision is to become the premier destination for those seeking to make a statement with their jewelry choices. We aim to be recognized as a brand that is synonymous with elegance, luxury, and exclusivity.

Thank you for choosing Opal Republic. We hope that our pieces bring as much joy to you as they do to us.
