Tourmaline and Opal: The October Birthstones
Opals are truly unique gemstones and are one of the birthstones for October birthdays. There are tiny universes in each one. ⁠ The colour of an opal is a hypnotic thing to behold. Unlike other gemstones, opals can contain all the colours of the rainbow in iridescent brilliance. Intricate flecks of green, blue, red, pink, yellow, purple, aqua and every colour in between.

Just finished working on this lovely little Lightning Ridge Australian black opal. Tried something new with this one. I've tried to continue some of the curves from the ring shank right up into the bezel so that they wrap around stone. Not sure it's noticeable but I had fun doing it. #blackopal #gladitdidntbreak 😂
