OCTOBER OPALS
Fireworks, galaxies, and a shifting play-of-color are what make the opal so desirable. Opals are unlike any other gemstone in your jewelry box, beyond the myths and "supernatural" ways they form, you will never see two identical opals.
Opal, named from the Latin word "opalus" meaning "gemstone of many colors", was first known to mankind around 250 BC. Many cultures believed it possessed supernatural powers and carried or wore the gemstone as a prophecy and personal talisman.
WHY WE WEAR SKULLS
Skulls are incredibly popular in the world of design but before skulls were trendy, they were considered a symbol of power.
A symbolic representation of mortality spanning back to the 15th century, people adorned themselves with amulets sculpted into skulls and/or skeletons to serve as their personal talisman. This reminder became known as "memento mori", which translates to "remember you must die".
