October’s birthstones are opal and pink tourmaline. Typically, each month has two birthstones – a cabochon and a faceted gemstone (read our blog all about birthstones to learn more!). While most people associate October with the fabulous opal, pink tourmalines are just as popular, offering a stronger crystal structure. (However, if pink isn’t your jam, you can find tourmalines in every color of the rainbow!)
Opals are a form of hydrated silica so they lack a crystal structure and can be prone to chipping and breaking. However, with proper care and thoughtful custom design (that’s our specialty!), they can become treasured heirloom jewelry.
Here are some of our favorite opal and pink tourmaline Hunt Country jewelry pieces for perfect gifts for October birthdays, anniversaries, or special occasions!
