Sparkle by the Seasons: The Birthstones of October, November & December
The last months of the year may bring cooler weather, but their birthstones bring all the fire, sparkle, and drama anyone could ask for. Whether you’re an October original, a November glow-getter, or a December dreamer, your birthstones are anything but boring.
October: Tourmaline & Opal
October babies hit the jackpot—they get two gems, because one simply isn’t enough.
✨Tourmaline: Available in just about every shade of the crayon box, tourmaline is like the extrovert of the gemstone world. Pink, green, blue—it’s a crowd-pleaser and a show-off, and we love it for that.
✨Opal: Imagine a gemstone that looks like it swallowed a rainbow and decided to keep it. That’s opal. Each one is different, which makes it the ultimate “you do you” stone. Legends say it sparks creativity, so if you suddenly feel like taking up pottery after wearing one, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
November: Citrine & Topaz
November’s stones are basically sunshine you can wear.
☀️Citrine: This golden-yellow gem is like happiness bottled up and turned into sparkle. Known as the “sunshine stone,” citrine is said to bring prosperity and good vibes. Translation: it’s the jewelry version of winning the lottery and getting a vacation all in one.
💎Topaz: If citrine is the latte, topaz is the champagne. Classic, rich, and endlessly elegant. Ancient cultures thought it held the power of the sun. We just think it makes November birthdays shine brighter than the holiday lights.
December: Tanzanite, Zircon & Turquoise
Because apparently one or two stones weren’t enough, December gets three. Overachievers.
🔹Tanzanite: Discovered in the ’60s and found only in Tanzania, this stone is the cool new kid. Its blue-violet sparkle is moody, chic, and practically begging to be worn to a holiday party.
🔹Zircon: Not to be confused with cubic zirconia—this is the real deal. Blue zircon in particular has major brilliance, like a disco ball in gem form. Perfect for anyone who wants to close out the year with extra dazzle.
🔹Turquoise: The ancient classic. Turquoise has been worn for thousands of years as a protective charm, and honestly, who doesn’t need a little extra luck when heading into a new year? Plus, its dreamy blue-green hue makes every outfit look instantly cooler.
Wrap It Up in Sparkle
From opal’s rainbow magic to turquoise’s timeless charm, these birthstones bring their own kind of personality and fun. Whether you’re shopping for a loved one or (let’s be real) treating yourself, we’ve got just the piece to make it shine.
