Yep. That's Us.

The building you noticed everyday driving to that job you had 10 years ago. The place your mother chose her engagement ring 35 years ago. The shop your grandpa went to have his geodes cut 60 years ago.

But Who Are We Now?

Over the last four decades, we have become one of Southern California’s leading opal specialists with an amazing collection of white opal, black opal, Mexican fire opal, boulder opal, crystal opal and so much more! We also have an unbelievable
selection of fire agate jewelry and loose fire agate. Oh, and let’s not forget that we custom design and make jewelry, too. You provide the stone(s) or choose from our vast selection of loose opal, tourmaline, turquoise, sapphires, rubies, or rare collector's stones and we'll help you create your own custom work of art. We also do on-site jewelry repair and we buy, sell and trade almost anything!

We have History.

And we aren't just referring to our pleasingly overwhelming selection of stones, crystals and jewelry, either. We are referring to you, a member of one of the many generations our store has had the honor of serving. Whether we're around or not to serve another few is entirely up to you; our reputation and existence rest on your continued satisfaction.

But Don't Just Take Our Word For It.

We Have a Reputation.

    What does it mean to be a hidden gem? It's an expression that we all use flippantly as we go about our busy lives that are increasingly commercialized and standardized.

    Every so often, you stumble across something so unexpected that it leaves a mark on your day. This gem shop was exactly that.

    My daughter likes gems and I was looking to surprise her with a unique outing so . . . (click link to read complete review)

    Burton's Gems and Opals is an incredible treasure cove filled with unique opals, gems, antiques, opalized fossils, opalized wood, and other precious jewelry.

    Walking into the shop feels like stepping into a small museum of Earth's hidden artistry. The pieces are truly beautiful, and you can tell there is real knowledge and passion behind so many years of dedicated collecting from the best opal gemologist.
