October Birthstones: Opal & Tourmaline Gifts She’ll Treasure

Why opal and pink tourmaline make perfect October gifts

October’s birthstones offer a rare mix of ethereal glow and heartfelt color. Opal (often sourced as opal moonstone or opalite) catches the light like a small secret — a quiet, luminous gift that feels meaningful every time it’s worn. Pink tourmaline brings rosy warmth and emotional symbolism, an ideal choice for celebrating Libras and Scorpios.

How to choose a piece she’ll wear every day

Think about how she lives: does she prefer minimalist studs or layered bracelets? For someone who loves subtle shine, our our Opal Moonstone Sterling Silver Gemstone Wrap is a versatile choice — wear it as a wrap bracelet, anklet, or a delicate necklace.

Gifting tips for Libras and Scorpios

Libras often love pieces that feel balanced and elegant — delicate studs and fine wraps are a safe bet. Scorpios appreciate meaningful, slightly mysterious gifts; opal’s inner glow and pink tourmaline’s depth both speak to that intensity.

Is opal or tourmaline hypoallergenic?

Stones themselves rarely cause reactions — it’s the metal you pair them with. At NOGU we use hypoallergenic .925 sterling silver and gold vermeil finishes so sensitive skin stays comfortable. For everyday wear choose our stud earrings or gemstone wraps with sterling silver bases for peace of mind.

What is the best way to care for opal and pink tourmaline jewelry?

Avoid harsh chemicals and store pieces separately to prevent scratching. Clean gently with a soft cloth and warm water. For vermeil finishes, be mindful of rough polishing which can wear the plating over time.

Can I mix opal and tourmaline in one look?

Yes — the soft glow of opal complements the rosy tones of pink tourmaline. Try stacking a wrap bracelet (like the Moonstone Tortuga Gemstone Wrap) with a simple silver chain and a pair of opal studs for balanced, wearable shine.

How do I know the size will fit?

Our stretch and wrap styles are forgiving and adjustable. If you’re choosing a stud or fixed bracelet, check the product page measurements — and remember our Lifetime Warranty and friendly support if anything needs attention.
