October birthstone jewelry
If you were born in October, guess who else shares your birth month?Julie Andrews, of The Sound Of Music and Mary Poppins fame was born on the 1st of October. Gwen Stefani and Ashlee Simpson were born on 3rd October. Other October birthday boys and girls include Anne Rice, Nikki Hilton, Elisabeth Shue, Toni Braxton, Matt Damon, Kirk Cameron, Hugh Jackman, Jean-Clauder Van Damme, Julia Roberts, Bill Gates and Peter Jackson.
Are you like any of your birth month contemporaries? In what way?
One thing you would all have common is that you all share the same October birthstones, Opal and Pink Tourmaline.
Opal
The Opal is a gemstone with plenty of superstition attached to it. Once upon a time, opal was thought to be bad luck, thanks to a the popular novel, Ann of Geierstein. That superstition was proven false when Queen Victoria, a lover of opals gave opal jewelry as wedding gifts to loved ones.Opal has a multi-colored fire that gives it a mysterious look, which probably led to all the beliefs associated with it. Opal is a very beautiful stone. I bought one on my honeymoon. A white opal with fire like a rainbow. Beautiful, romantic and something to be treasured.
Black opal is all the more sophisticated. The rainbow of hues plays even more stunningly on that dark background.
Did you know that opals contain water? 5% to 20% of an opal is water, so treat it with care, avoid getting detergents, chemicals or anything drying on it in order to protect the stone. In other words, take it off when you do the housework or if you are going to enter that pool of chlorinated water.
Get the October girl opal bracelets that she can admire even as she wears them. For the birthday boy, get him opal cuff links.
Pink Tourmaline
This is a pretty pink stone that ranges from a pale pink to a rich, hot pink. They are so much more affordable than pink diamonds and pink sapphires yet, are so gorgeous.Tourmalines come in every color imaginable. They are found in Brazil. A single stone can have more than one color. Cat's eyes are tourmalines.
For the October birthday girl, get her a pair of pink tourmaline earrings. She would be thrilled as they would really perk up her outfits.
