October Birthstone Jewelry: Opal
Jewelry by Johan's October birthstone jewelry includes tourmaline and opal engagement rings and wedding bands. You can find a matching bridal set with opal or tourmaline stones, or you can request a custom jewelry piece by speaking with our designer consultants.
October's Birthstones: Opal & Tourmaline
The month of October is unique in that it has two primary birthstones: Opal and Tourmaline. While the opal has been recognized for centuries, tourmaline was added as a modern alternative, offering a wider variety of colors. Having two stones gives those with an October birthday more options for finding a piece that fits their style.
About Opal
Opal is known for its "play of color," which is the flash of rainbow hues that appears when the stone is viewed from different angles. This unique feature makes each opal distinct. Opal jewelry is a popular gift choice, symbolizing hope, purity, and truth.
About Tourmaline
Tourmaline is a gemstone known for its variety of colors, which range from vibrant pinks and blues to deep greens and blacks. Pink tourmaline is the most common variety used for October birthstone jewelry. People are drawn to tourmaline for its rich color and symbolism of creativity and balance.
Why October Birthstone Jewelry is a Great Gift
Because October has two different stones, you can choose a piece that matches your loved one’s personal style. The symbolic meanings of both opal (hope, purity) and tourmaline (creativity, balance) also add a layer of personal significance to the gift.
For a milestone, consider a Meteorite and Opal Wedding Band or an Opal Engagement Ring. The unique material combinations, such as Dinosaur Bone and Meteorite or Mokume Gane, make the jewelry stand out as a unique gift. For a more subtle accessory, Opal & Meteorite Cuff Links are a great choice. With so many options, from engagement and wedding rings to necklaces and cufflinks, you can find a piece that is both meaningful and perfectly suited for the person you are celebrating.

I cannot express enough how happy I am with not only the ring i had made for my fiancé, but also the incredible customer service we received from start to finish. They worked with us on customizing the ring to a 7mm, I called several times as I was a bit nervous ordering online. . and they were great. They made the whole process so easy.
