October Birthstone
Jewelry
The Opal
Derived from the Latin word for “precious stone,”
opals are said to bring out the wearer’s inner
beauty. Opal’s luminous surface, mirroring the
wonder of the sky’s rainbows and lightening, was
once used by Shakespeare as his muse. Today, the
stone is a symbol of both intuition and joy.
Opal Gift Ideas
A unique gift idea, created by California designer
Vallora Sabourin, is this necklace featuring seven
faceted, rare Peruvian opals, accented with
individually-wrapped Japanese freshwater seed pearls
and Italian pink coral beads. Each opal is
delicately hand-wrapped with 14k gold-filled wire
and is suspended from a 14k gold chain adjusting
from 16"-17" long.
Compliment this gift with a striking pair if
Peruvian opal earrings topped with tiny Japanese
seed pearls. These 8mm hand-cut briolette stones are
hand-wrapped with 14k gold-filled wire.
For a dazzling look try an opal and diamond pendant
necklace with matching earrings.
This 18k white gold pendant holds a single round
diamond that complements the fire of the opal, and
is suspended from an 18k white gold cable-link
chain. The earrings feature a single round diamond,
which complements the colorful opal in an 18k white
gold setting.
