Depazzi captures all that is Australian

The Depazzi story began more than 100 years ago. The families of business partners Bruce Tully and James Evert were amongst the earliest pioneers of opal mining back in the late 1800s.

The primary materials incorporated in designs are Opal, Crocodile Leather, South Sea Pearls and Precious Metals.

Creative Director Bruce Tully, subject of ABC's Australian Story episode "Romancing the Stone" in 2005, describes opal as a hologram from ancient times; and crocodiles the perfect predator - living dinosaurs with the lines of time etched into their rugged beauty - the ultimate leather luxury.

Indigenous Australians believed opal empowered women.

The design concept is striking in its simplicity. It is innovative, raw and sensual and when combined with these exquisite materials, the combination can only be described as Primal Elegance.
