The Best Birthstone Jewelry for October Birthdays - TownandCountrymag.com

When it comes to birthstone, October babies enjoy a plethora of options. Its first birthstone, opal is known for its kaleidoscopic shifting, multifaceted colors (courtesy of small silica spheres that diffract light at many different wavelengths, lend the stones a rainbow effect) while its other, tourmaline, can appear in virtually any color under the sun, since it actually gets its pigmentation from trace minerals found within the stone (with pink and green being some of the most commonly used in jewelry.) No matter your color preference, October birthstones offer plenty of options, which is why we've rounded up some of the prettiest examples to add to jewelry box this month.
