October Babies: Tourmaline Or Opal?

October is only two days away and there’s lots to look forward to! FALL finally taps on our windows with the changing color of leaves, and the days get much shorter….We can cozy up a little with our fashion choices (can’t wait to wear those scarves) and pumpkin spice lattes are in tall order

. It’s also breast cancer month, which we honor by wearing pink. Pink is also October’s birthstone which we jewel snobs would call tourmaline. October babies can choose to go  tourmaline or opal depending on what they like best and make great birthday gifts as an accessory piece!  The cross necklace below is from The Vatican Library Collection and does triple duty—it can be worn as three different necklaces! The cross charm can be separated so you can wear it in different ways depending on your mood and outfit.

For the pink alternative, opal is also an October stone and is considered to be one of the most beloved gems. They were worshiped by the Romans as a symbol of hope and fidelity and it’s also called the “queen of gems” because the color illuminations represent beautiful hues of the rainbow. Check out two of our opal styles below!
