October Birthstone Jewelry – Opal & Tourmaline Jewelry

Posted by janice On September - 29 - 2009

Tourmaline is the official birthstone for the month of October. It is referred to as the “gemstone of the rainbow” because of its variety of colors. But always, the prettiest is the Pink variety. The Tourmaline gem is known to relieve stress, anxiety and confusion. It is also believed to attract success in all endeavors.

Opal is the traditional birthstone for October. It has a wide range of colors ranging from milky white to black with flashes of different colors. Myths have it that it helps to develop inner beauty, aids faithfulness and improves eyesight.

Opals are a much softer gemstone than Tourmaline.  When you purchase opal jewelry be sure that it is in a solid clasp.  Due to the softness of the opal gemstone it is usually not recommended for rings, but I sure do love the look of it.

Jewelry with Opal or Pink Tourmaline birthstones are thoughtful gift ideas for the Birthday celebrants this month.  Here are few of my favorite October birthstone jewelry items that are available for purchase.

My mom’s birthday is in October and in honor of her I’m offering discounts on select styles of Pink Tourmaline & Opal Jewels.

Colorless topaz can be treated by irradiation and heated to produce the different color shades of blue, in which the blue topaz is formed. Ruby is the red version and valuable of the mineral corundum. Legend has it that drinking wine from an amethyst goblet would prevent one from becoming inebriated. Tourmalines, however, are gems with an incomparable variety of colors and faces and are known for durability and hardness.

Its very hard surface makes it the ideal stone for everyday wear. Diamonds are graded by carat weight, clarity, color, and cut, otherwise known as the four Cs. Later in history, the Latin word opalus came to mean precious stone. Tourmalines are found almost all over the world with major deposits in Brazil, Sri Lanka and South and southwest Africa. Meaning Friendship Sapphire Sapphire like the Ruby is member of the corundum family and is also another very hard gemstone.

Ruby is mined primarily in Burma, Thailand, and Cambodia. Meaning Freedom Peridot Peridot has been claimed to ward off evil spirits, eliminate enchantments, as well as its invincible strength. Topaz can also occur naturally in many different colors of orange, blue, brown, green, beige, red, and pink. Blue Topaz The Blue Topaz is one of the popular topazes in the world market The Diamond, revered throughout history, is harder than any other substance on earth. Meaning Wealth The rare gemstone known as Alexandrite was discovered in in Czarist Russia.

Peridot came from the Arabic word zeberget for peridot, and also an island in the Red Sea which was an early source for the finest stones. Rubies have everything precious stone should have magnificent color, excellent hardness and outstanding brilliance. They are unique in that this gemstone can display all of the spectrums colors in different patterns, brilliance, and shades. However, one should choose the pearls of white color when buying them as the birthstone for the month of Meaning Constancy Amethyst Beautiful amethyst in its rich purple colors symbolizes royalty and aristocracy.

Sea water is the literal translation for aquamarine and hence its long association with the symbolism of the ocean. The color ranges of the Blue Topaz run from sky blue to Swiss blue to the darkest London blue. Layers upon layers of nacre eventually form Pearl which can take up to seven or eight years. In such case, one should feel free to choose any appropriately listed stone due to the fact that one stone is not deemed to be more important than the other.
