In this series I am showcasing each month’s birthstone, so you can find out all about the properties of the stone, and get ideas about how to style your birthstone jewellery to create your perfect seasonal look!
Radiate optimism and enthusiasm this October!
October’s birthstone, opal, has been used throughout the ages by indigenous peoples of Australia and the Americas to enhance intuition, increase psychic powers, and attain a higher consciousness. Opal can also help release negative patterns and renew your positivity - what more could you wish for?
This delicate shimmering opal is set in a simple handcrafted 9ct gold bezel setting on a sterling silver band, hallmarked by the London Assay Office. The entire ring is lightly polished and catches the light beautifully!
Stunning and affordable engagement or commitment ring for your love. Opal is the birthstone for October.

Opal’s delicate shimmer means that it is the perfect stone when you want to make a subtle statement. A delicate ring, set in 9ct yellow gold, adds a touch of elegance and lets the stone do the talking, while allowing the rest of your outfit to shimmer just as much. Or why not evoke Halloween season with a blood-red opal set on a yellow gold pendant? Perfect for a grown up Halloween party!
If your style is a bit more bohemian and a bit less polished (I feel you!) then a cantera opal might be your best bet. Formed and shaped in their host rock, these opals have a beautiful organic and natural feel to them But that doesn’t mean they shimmer any less! A statement cantera opal ring, or a delicate cantera opal necklace, will enhance your effortless, laid-back look. So whatever your style, check out my range of opal jewellery to find your perfect match.
