As we step into October, two gentle yet powerful gems take centre stage: Pink Tourmaline and Pink Opal. Each brings its own emotion-rich energy, ideal for the change in seasons as well as for finding new ways to express love, hope and calm.

“October is a favourite month for me, with both my children’s birthdays falling in these weeks, it’s always filled with planning, parties and plenty of fun! I love both of these gorgeous pink stones to represent the love I have for my family, and the hope I feel for my children as they grow up to be more and more independent every year.”
Helen - Decadorn founder
Pink Opal: Hope & Love
Pink Opal is October’s gentle treasure, often known as the stone of love and hope. Soft in colour but rich in meaning, it’s a gem that speaks straight to the heart. Known for its soothing, nurturing energy, Pink Opal is a reminder to move through life with kindness, for yourself and for others.
It’s also the perfect stone for moments of transition, when you want to let go of the past and look forward with a little more optimism. Whether you’re marking a fresh chapter, honouring a special occasion, or simply wanting a touch of calm in the everyday, Pink Opal is a beautiful, wearable way to carry love and hope with you wherever you go.

Pink Tourmaline: Love & Calm
We love Pink Tourmaline for its brighter pink colour that feels vibrant and full of life. An alternative birthstone for September, it’s known as the stone of love and calm,bringing warmth to the heart while smoothing out life’s rough edges.
It’s the gem you’ll want close when you’re looking to brighten your mood or steady your emotions, a perfect mix of joy and serenity. Pink Tourmaline also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone stepping into a new phase or celebrating something special; a radiant reminder to stay open, stay calm and let love lead the way.

LOVE, HOPE & CALM FOR OCTOBER
October often feels like a natural pause point, a chance to reflect, reset and find a bit of balance. Pink Tourmaline and Pink Opal are stones that fit perfectly with this time of year. Both are gentle and supportive, encouraging calm, steady energy and a sense of optimism as we move into the cooler, autumn months.
Styling & Gifting
-
Layer up: Pair a chunkier pink opal piece with finer gold or silver chains (or the tourmaline faceted beads) for contrast.
-
Mix metals: Pink stones often warm up beautifully against gold, but silver gives a cooler, more delicate finish.
- Gifts: Because of their emotional properties, these gems make meaningful gifts for anyone going through transitions - October birthdays, relationship changes, loss - or just to send love. Adding our initial or zodiac discs adds a personal touch.
