October gas three birthstones, which seems greedy, but there you are. Tourmaline, rose quartz and opal. And as an October baby, I’m pretty pleased with that!
Tourmaline is the show-off. It comes out of the ground in more colours than any other stone, and sometimes two or three in the one crystal: pink at one end, green at the other, like a slice of watermelon. The Victorians were mad for it.
Rose quartz is the quiet one. Soft pink, sometimes slightly cloudy, and warm in the hand in a way the clearer stones aren’t. People have carried it around for luck and love for a few thousand years. And matched with pearls? Heaven!
We have a truly lovely range of both tourmaline and rose quartz jewellery in the shop - something for all aesthetics. If you know an October baby, you know what to do. If you are an October baby, send this to someone. Subtly. Or not.
