Why Opal Is One of October’s Birthstones

Opal is the traditional birthstone for October and has been celebrated for centuries. It is often linked to emotional insight, creativity, and transformation. Unlike most gemstones with fixed color, opal’s hues dance and change with every shift in light, making it a fitting symbol for the month of change—where transition, introspection, and beauty all converge. Many believe opal brings hope, purity, truth, and calming energy to the wearer, making it more than just a beautiful stone.

Popular Settings: White Gold, Yellow Gold, and Sterling Silver

Our opals are thoughtfully set in precious metals like solid 14K white gold, yellow gold, and sterling silver. White gold settings provide a luminous frame that enhances opal’s natural glow, while yellow gold adds warmth and richness. Sterling silver offers durability and a classic look. These metals are chosen not only for their beauty but also for their ability to protect the delicate opal while allowing light to dance within the stone.

Styling October Birthstone Jewelry: Rings, Pendants, Earrings, and Bracelets

Opal’s neutrality makes it ideal for layering and stacking. Pair a glowing opal pendant with delicate chains, or wear opal studs alongside diamond-accented earrings for a touch of sparkle. Bracelets featuring opals—either solitaire or stacked with diamonds—add a subtle yet radiant pop of color to any outfit. Whether worn as a quiet focal point or a layered detail, opal brings texture and harmony without excess.
