I’m always jealous of October babies, because I think they’ve got the best birthstone. I’ve long loved opals for their confetti-like party of colors, their way of shifting and changing with the light, and their overall ethereal beauty.
Dainty, delicate little opal studs by Scosha and WWake are some of my personal favorites for upper lobe piercings. Please join us in the Oakland shop on Saturday, October 14th for a piercing party with master piercer J. Colby Smith – link to book below!

Nested Opal Ring by Wwake Wing Yau, the designer behind WWake, might as well be called the Queen of the Opals. This ring is another fine example of her mastery of the stone. -
Opal Cuff by Melissa Joy Manning I love this one of a kind cuff because it shows off the incredible natural variation that can occur within the opal classification. Just stunning. -
Opal Trio Necklace by Jennie Kwon Opals are at their best when paired with sparkling diamonds in delicate, organic settings like this necklace by Jennie Kwon.
Opal Comet Studs by Kimberlin Brown Wild, weird and otherworldly, these squiggly studs by Kimberlin Brown show off the alien appeal of opals.
