About Parle

Learn About the brand

Founded in 1973 in Pocatello, Idaho, Parlé Jewelry Designs began with a singular passion: uncovering the hidden brilliance of the earth. What started as the Idaho Opal and Gem Corp—born from founder Frank Farnsworth’s hands-on work mining rough Spencer opal—has evolved into a multi-generational, family-led brand celebrated for world-class, colored gemstone jewelry. Their name, derived from the French word "to speak," reflects their core philosophy: every gemstone possesses its own voice, story, and soul. Their mission is to capture that unique expression, crafting wearable art that speaks directly to the individual.
