October claims both opal and pink tourmaline as its birthstones. The opal represents hope, innocence, and purity to some, yet others see it as a sign of bad luck. Tourmaline is actually available in many colors, but the pink variety is thought to improve health, spirit, and inspire creativity.
Birthstones were once thought to give the wearer extra strength for the trials that go with the month they were born. Though there isn’t proof of this, they can be a nice statement that you care for the person enough to hold to the tradition.
One popular way to purchase opal or pink tourmaline jewelry is in matching sets, earring and necklace sets for example. You can even find sets with birthstone rings, earrings, and necklaces. These sets are great gifts for any occasion. They don’t have to be given just on birthdays. They would make a great gift for an anniversary, graduation, or Christmas.
Sometimes, these birthstone jewelry sets are not made from real gems. This makes them very affordable. However, it doesn’t make them any less important to you or the person that you are giving the gift to. You can find sets in gold, silver, or white gold – which you choose just depends on your preferences. You don’t have to be born in October to love opals. You can purchase an opal birthstone set, even if you were born in November, April, or June. Consider that also when you are searching for that right gift!
