October has arrived and that means that its 2 dazzling birthstones have arrived too: opal and tourmaline. Both of these incredible gems offer stunning, versatile and unique beauty that make them perfect for personalized jewelry pieces for those special October babies in your life. At Seifert Jewelry, we are excited to celebrate these captivating stones and showcase their varied and vibrant colors. Whether you’re born in October or simply looking for a beautiful gift for someone special or for yourself, versatile opal and tourmaline can be transformed into one-of-a-kind custom jewelry pieces that will be treasured for years to come.
Opal, known for its mesmerizing play-of-color, is a gemstone like no other. Each opal is unique, with flashes of fiery reds, vivid blues, and shimmering greens that seem to dance within the stone. The primary characteristic of this stone is its chameleon-like ability to change colors when the light hits it from different angles. This dramatic play-of-color has inspired writers to compare it to fireworks, galaxies and volcanoes.This gem has long been associated with creativity and imagination, making it a perfect choice for someone who appreciates beauty in its most artistic form. Remember also that opal is the stone given to celebrate the 14th wedding anniversary.
Tourmaline, on the other hand, is known for its wide range of colors—from deep greens to bright pinks and even multicolored varieties like the famous watermelon tourmaline. With such versatility, tourmaline offers endless possibilities for creating a piece of jewelry that perfectly reflects your personal style. Although found elsewhere in the world, tourmaline is found and mined in the US, so consider it a national gemstone!
