Opal is the October birthstone, loved for the soft play of colour that shifts as it catches the light. Our opal pieces range from milky white and pink to deep blue and forest green. Opal has long been linked with hope, creativity and love, and it was once thought to hold the colours of every other gem. In this collection you will find opal pendants and an initial necklace, tapered huggie hoops, studs, rings and a bangle, plus pieces that pair opal with turquoise, in gold vermeil, gold plated and sterling silver.
Your questions, answered
What is opal?
Opal is the October birthstone, loved for its play of colour, the flashes of light that shift as it moves. You will find white, pink, blue and green opal here.
What does opal mean?
Opal is traditionally a stone of hope and creativity. The Romans prized it above almost every other gem.
Are your opal pieces real opal?
Our opal and turquoise pieces feature natural opal, and the tapered huggies use an opal inlay. The opal bangle is set with opal CZ, so each product page lists the exact stone.
Is opal unlucky?
That idea mostly comes from a Walter Scott novel published in 1829, which hurt opal's popularity for years. Today opal is simply loved as the October birthstone.
How do I care for opal jewellery?
Opal is softer than most gems, so take it off before washing, swimming or exercise and store it apart from harder stones. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
