October Birthstone Jewelry: Tourmaline & Opal

What’s more, since tourmaline and opal gemstones are available in a range of colors, there are so many shades, designs, and sizes to consider when picking the perfect October birthstone jewelry. And lucky for you, here at Gray & Sons, we have plenty of tourmaline and opal jewelry pieces for you to choose from.
Given the veritable rainbow of shades available within this gemstone family, Tourmaline aptly takes its name from the Sinhalese words “tura mali,” which translates to “stone of mixed colors.” Common colors include pink tourmalines, green tourmalines, blue tourmalines, and the so-called watermelon tourmaline which mixes green and pink in one stone.
On the other hand, the name Opal is a derivative of the Greek word “opallios,” which translates to “to see a change in color.” This name perfectly encapsulates the way opal gemstones diffracts light offering a wonderful play of colors, sometimes even resembling a burning fire within.
If you’re celebrating a birthday this month (or even if you aren’t) don’t miss these beautiful tourmaline and opal jewelry pieces to celebrate October’s birthstones.
