October!

October!

I am not sure how it is October already, but here we are πŸ™‚. October is a month with 2 birthstones, opal & pink tourmaline. Opal was the traditional birthstone, but in 1952, the National Association of Jewelers added pink tourmaline because the opal was seen by many as too feminine in appearance & there were questions about durability. Now, I’m not sure how they thought pink tourmaline was any less “feminine in appearance,” πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ but they didn’t consult me πŸ˜‚. #morethanakiss #octoberbirthstone #opal #pinktourmaline
