October Birthstone Stud Earrings – Opal, Sterling Silver

This opal stud is simple in shape but full of colour: a single stone with soft flashes of green, set in sterling silver.

Opal is one of October's two birthstones, alongside pink tourmaline, so this makes sense as a gift for an October birthday, or any occasion tied to someone born that month. It suits someone wearing their own birthstone, or a parent marking a child's birth month.

The stone is a genuine, natural opal, cut and polished as a smooth oval cabochon rather than faceted, so its play of colour shows properly. Expect small variations in pattern and colour flash between pairs — a sign it's a real stone rather than a manufactured one. It's set in sterling silver — keep it bright and shining with an occasional polish with a silver polishing cloth.

These birthstone studs are part of Lulu + Belle's Element birthstone collection – which has twelve precious and semi-precious gemstones – one for every birth month. These pieces, created with genuine natural gemstones, are designed to represent the people and the months that matter most.
