October is Opal and Tourmaline Month

October 2nd, 2025 by Jenny Sweaney

October is the month we celebrate opal and tourmaline as birthstones, and these are two Mardon favorites! Both have many different appearances and come in a ton of colors, and sometimes *all* the colors! Stay tuned this month and we’ll show you some mouthwatering gems and jewelry, from watermelon to rainbow.

The ring in this video was a custom creation made by us in Riverside with recycled rose gold and recycled diamonds, and we can make you something just as spectacular. The opal is from Ethiopia, a newer source for opal, cut by a Southern California lapidary.
