Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet.......................... what?!?!? Yup, that's what your October birthstone brings us....color, color and more color! A rainbow of fiery shades captured in a gemstone. It is a force of nature that swells within one stone - Opal!
It's essence is all about purity, hope and innocence - shown in that gorgeous Ethiopian Opal Sterling Cross Pendant on 18" Chain.
And yet, it has an allure to it that even Cleopatra used to enchant and entice Mark Anthony.
Both of these opal bracelets - the 6.30 ct tw Ethiopian Opal 8" Sterling Tennis Bracelet and the Or Paz Sterling 8" Ethiopian Opal Link Bracelet show that "alluring" quality beautifully!
The October birthstone is three dimensional and captures colors like not other gemstone. It invites you to explore it's depth of color and sparks your imagination with the ever changing movement of light within.
Look at these three rings that all show such amazing play of color and depth!
1. 0.80 ct Ethiopian Opal Diamond Cut Sterling Ring
2. 1.70 ct tw Ethiopian Opal & Black Spinel Sterling Ring
3. Or Paz Sterling 1.00cttw Teal Ethiopian Opal Garden Ring
Due to their uniqueness, extra care should be taken with these gems...treat your opal well! Never use harsh chemicals to clean your opal pieces...simply wipe them with a soft, damp cloth.
Although we most often see opals in white or black there are also fire opal that come in a wide range of colors - and that do not exhibit the play of color we see in the other varieties. QVC offers orange fire opals and pink opals such as the ones in these Or Paz Sterling Leaf Design Gemstone Drop Earrings .
Did you know that opal deposits were found on Mars in 2008?!?!? Who knew?! Wonder when the next rocket is leaving - and if they are taking passengers?!?!? LOL
Have a wonderfully bright and colorful birthday October Babies!
