October birthstone jewellery celebrates two captivating gems – Opal and Tourmaline.Both are known for their mesmerising colours and unique character, symbolising creativity, individuality, and expression.
At Icecool diamonds, we love designing October birthstone jewellery featuring opal and tourmaline. Whether you prefer opal’s iridescence or tourmaline’s colour range, both October birthstones make stunning bespoke pieces.
About October Birthstone Jewellery: Opal and Tourmaline
Opals shine with their iridescence. You can see flashes of red, blue, and green beneath the surface, which creates a natural kaleidoscope. Each opal is unique, formed from silica and water over millions of years.
Tourmalines come in a stunning variety of colours. You can find soft pinks and peaches, as well as bold greens and deep blues. This variety makes tourmaline one of the most versatile gems for bespoke jewellery.

Meaning & Symbolism of October Birthstone Jewellery
Opal symbolises hope, purity, and imagination. In ancient times, people thought it held the power of all gemstones due to its shifting colours. It inspires creativity and emotional balance.
Tourmaline represents love, compassion, and self-confidence. Each colour has its meaning—pink for love, green for vitality, and blue for calm.
They both capture energy and emotional harmony, making perfect stones for those born in October.
How to Wear October Birthstones
At Icecool diamonds, we love creating October birthstone jewellery that highlights the natural beauty of each birthstone. The opal’s stunning colours are truly captivating. It looks even more beautiful in fine jewellery, especially when surrounded by diamonds that highlight its brilliance.
The tourmaline, vibrant and full of life, transforms into a statement piece when crafted into pendants or rings, adding a bold touch of colour and sophistication that makes every piece unique.
Care & Maintenance Tips for October Birthstone Jewellery
Opals are delicate and porous gemstones, so they require a little extra care. Use lukewarm, mild soapy water and a soft cloth to remove dirt, and avoid hard chemicals. Store in a cool, soft place and separate from other gemstones to prevent scratches.
Tourmalines are more durable but can still be scratched if stored with harder stones. To maintain their brilliance, clean with mild soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid extreme heat or sudden temperature changes.
