The month’s birthstones, tourmaline and opal, complement the palette of autumn.
This 14-karat yellow gold necklace with Australian opal swivel charms and pavé diamond accents from Just Jules is one of 20 pieces of October birthstone jewelry highlighted in this Amanda’s Style File.
Crisp air, pumpkin spice, hayrides, haunted houses, and football stadiums erupting in cheers—these are the sights and sounds of fall.
The season might be fleeting, but there is no denying the energy that comes with fall’s faster pace and colorful display of nature.
With October’s arrival comes breathtaking vistas that beckon leaf peepers (it is a real thing, look it up!) from all over to see the foliage sparkle and put on its best show of all.
Colorful too are October’s birthstones.
Tourmaline’s soulful palette runs from earthy greens to bright blue, fitting into the wild colors of the season.
Opals are having their own showstopping moment, bringing flashes of color that can be reminiscent of leaves swaying in the fall breeze while being lit by the sun.
These are some tourmaline and opal Style File selects to enjoy.
