Opal has long captivated jewelry lovers with its kaleidoscopic play of color. Each stone is unique, with flashes of fiery reds, serene blues, and luminous greens. This individuality makes opal a meaningful choice for those who want a birthstone as distinctive as they are.

Symbolism


Opal is often associated with hope, creativity, and emotional balance. Its shifting hues mirror life’s ever-changing beauty, making it a powerful stone for self-expression.

Styling Tips


Opal jewelry in San Francisco is a year-round favorite, but it feels especially fitting for fall. Choose an opal pendant in yellow or rose gold to highlight the stone’s warmth, or opt for an opal ring that catches the light with every movement. Pair it with soft knits or tailored outerwear for a refined seasonal look.

Where opal reflects light, tourmaline embodies variety. Known as the “rainbow gemstone,” tourmaline appears in nearly every color, from deep greens and reds to vivid pinks and even rare bi-color “watermelon” varieties.

Symbolism


Tourmaline is connected to love, compassion, and confidence. Its spectrum of colors makes it one of the most versatile and personal gemstones you can wear.

Styling Tips


Tourmaline rings and earrings are among the most popular ways to showcase this October birthstone. Bold green or pink tourmaline pieces add vibrant contrast to fall’s earth tones. Choose statement rings or studs to elevate your everyday wear.
