The October birthstones are opal and tourmaline.

With its beautiful play of colour and softly luminous appearance, opal is one of the most distinctive birthstones. It has long been associated with hope, creativity and love – making it a thoughtful choice for an October birthday or a meaningful gift for someone special.

Tourmaline is a vibrant and versatile gemstone revered in jewellery for its wide range of colors, excellent durability and unique natural beauty. Often used in earrings and pendants, it’s especially popular for its rich pinks, greens, and striking bi-color varieties like watermelon tourmaline. It is traditionally associated with love, compassion and emotional balance.
