The Best October Birthstone Jewellery To Add To Your Collection

October babies are lucky to have two birthstones to choose from: opal and tourmaline. Both October birthstones have long been admired for their cut and clarity. But now, pink opal is the October birthstone trending for its chic pink colour, special properties and meanings.

Opals have always been prized for their changing colours in rainbow hues, known as “play-of-colour”, with many comparing opals to fireworks, galaxies and volcanoes. Although opals come in an array of colours, pink opals in particular are trending this year. Despite Pantone declaring periwinkle as this year’s reigning colour, pink is the trending colour of Autumn 2022.

Opals are also gaining popularity on Tiktok as consumers increasingly search for meaningful jewellery to promote spirituality or wellness. Ancient Greeks believed that opals helped protect them from disease. Nowadays, opals are said to be a symbol of purity, hope and truth. Pink Opals are also believed to soothe the mind, body and soul, bringing positive energy to those who wear them.
