The month’s birthstones, opal and tourmaline, help the season’s laid-back attire pop, Amanda Gizzi says.
This open ring from Jacquie Aiche features both birthstones for the month of October, opal (in this case, a freeform Australian opal) and tourmaline (a baguette-cut purple tourmaline). It retails for $12,000.

However, don’t be fooled by fall’s casual, pumpkin spice-soaked vibes. The season also calls for opulence, with accessories providing the perfect juxtaposition to the laid-back attire.
October knows how to do opulence with not one but two show-stopping birthstone options, opal and tourmaline.
Opals are filled with fire, as the color display within each stone creates drama.
Tourmaline, on the other hand, is the quintessential stone for the “quiet luxury” movement, with its range of soft hues.
