Fall is here! As we welcome the new season, say hello to this month's birthstones. Opal and Tourmaline are the magnificent gems of October, one of few months to have multiple stones. Let’s take a look at the natural beauty of these two!

- Opals are regarded as one of the most inimitable of all gemstones. It emits an array of rainbow iridescence, known as play-of-color, that shimmers from various angles when admired in the light. Doesn’t that sound magical? The play-of-color in opals are so dramatic that in the past it was once believed they contained lightning and fell from the sky during thunderstorms. It’s electric, boogie woogie woogie! These gorgeous, semi precious stones are a great way to add charm to your everyday attire. Incorporate more opal jewelry to your collection this season with Van Adams’ signature fashion rings!


- Tourmaline complements well with the playful pigments in Opal’s because toramalli, its Sinhalese word of origin, means “stone of mixed colors”. Talk about one true pairing! Much like opals, very few gems resemble the pink, green and blue hues of the spectrum that tourmalines are known for. Brighten up your style with this vibrant, colorful stone. Van Adams has signature tourmaline pieces that will accentuate you and enhance your everyday look!

Both stones have unique characteristics that display their individuality, but they still unite to illustrate the profound beauty of Autumn. You don’t have to be born in October to rock these impressive gems! Van Adams is home of the finest accessories that will appeal to all jewelry lovers. Don’t believe me? See for yourself

Until next time,
