Are you born in October? If so, your birthstone is no other than the mesmerising Opal. Arguably one of the world’s most unique gemstones, Opal is brought to life by its kaleidoscopic of celestial colours including pinks, greens, blues and yellow. Since opal boasts all the colours of other rare gems, the Romans thought it was the most precious and powerful of them all while Bedouins believed that the October birthstone contained lightning and fell from the sky during thunderstorms. Whatever you magic you believe in, there’s no denying the beauty and brilliance of opal.
At W Hamond, we have an extensive collection of October birthstone jewellery for you to choose from including Opal necklaces, Opal earrings, Opal rings, and Opal bracelets. We have selected five of our favourite October birthstone jewellery pieces to talk you through today, but don’t hesitate to get in touch with the team on 01947 603330 or at info@whamond.com for more recommendations.
