October holds not one but two birthstones, as well as passing through two zodiac signs, making it a month with plenty of options to find the perfect something special.
No matter what colour or hue you’re looking for, tourmaline will have a variation perfect for you. Most commonly being found in blue, pink, green, black, or watermelon, tourmaline holds the perfect sparkle no matter who’s looking. For a better look at each colour, check out our dazzling wrap bracelets by Anne Sportun. Not only are there endless colour combinations, but each tourmaline colour holds a special meaning, including protection, love, compassion, and connection to different chakras. If none of those colours speak to you, no worries, at Magpie you’ll find a variety of options for October's other birthstone, Opal. Traditionally believed to be delivered to earth through rainbows, opals are a lovely white stone that reflect rainbows in the light. For a better look, the Luna Delicate Opal Necklace is a perfect example.
October begins under Libra, an air sign ruled by Venus, meaning Libras appreciate art, beauty and aesthetics. For a sign dedicated to beauty, a beautiful piece of fine jewellery is the ideal gift. Additionally, Venus is the planet of love, so pink tourmaline, which is connected to the heart chakra, is an enchanting option for the libra in your life. The end of October, from the 23rd onward, is under Scorpio, a fire sign associated with intensity and passion. Ruby, (normally associated with July) with its deep, intense red, is the stone most commonly associated with passion and desire, perfect for the October Scorpio in your life.
The October birth flower is the marigold, a deep golden orange bloom that signifies warmth, passion, and creativity. Although both the colour or meaning may provide inspiration for your gift hunt, Magpie also offers a charming marigold talisman necklace.
With a variety of options, you are sure to find something as beautiful as it is meaningful for the October baby in your life. Happy hunting!
