If you were born in October, you’re lucky, you get two unique birthstone choices!
October’s Birthstones are Opal and Pink Tourmaline!
The Colorful Opal is October’s Most Traditional Gemstone
Stunning Pink Tourmaline is October’s Second Birthstone Option
Either of these options make a beautiful gift for someone born in October!
Opal is an incredible gemstone with stunning color!
Opal has an incredible play of color, showing many beautiful flashes of color in the light. It is perfect for a fashion ring for special occasions, or for a pendant or earrings for more regular wear. That is because opal is beautiful but can also be fragile. But, earrings and necklaces make perfect choices for opal, since they are less likely to be hit on counters like rings. But you can wear an opal ring, as long as you take special care, and take it off before going to the gym or doing your gardening!
Pink Tourmaline is a Beautiful Color and Has Great Sparkle
Pink Tourmaline is a gemstone that is usually faceted – which means it is cut with flat angles on the top and bottom to make sure it is as sparkly as possible. Opal’s beauty is found in its flashes of color, but it is also opaque, so it is not usually faceted. One is not better than the other – they each have their own unique properties and beauty. Luckily, if you have an October birthday, you don’t have to pick one. You get to have two birthstones!
