October has all the luck. Fall, many people’s favorite season, has arrived. We spend the month gearing up for Halloween. And as the temperatures start to dip, we meet that moment when it’s really exciting to put on a sweater and other heavy clothing that we’ll be stuck in (and tired of) by the time winter overstays its welcome.
Yes, October really is the envy of other months of the year. On top of all those aforementioned things, October lays claim to not one but two incredible gems as birthstones. One is the luminescent opal, that galaxial orb of color designers can’t get enough of. The month’s second birthstone is tourmaline—a kaleidoscope, available in a rainbow of colors, a vibrant, awe-inspiring feast for the eyes.
From minty green to juicy pink to electric blue and even black, it’s no wonder jewelry designers can’t get enough of tourmaline. And while it’s of-the-moment given its status as the month’s birthstone, there’s never really a time we don’t want to pour over tourmaline. With the holidays approaching, the stone’s gemmy variety is inspiring and magical, a bold choice for gifting—and for self-purchases, as shoppers accessorize their seasonal attire.
