October Birthstone: Tourmaline — A Little Color, A Lot of Meaning
October birth stone
October is here, and that means it’s time for a new birthstone at The Greenville Spark! This month, we’re celebrating tourmaline, one of October’s beautiful birthstones and a gemstone known for its incredible range of colors.
Meet October’s Birthstone: Tourmaline
One of the things we love most about tourmaline is that it doesn’t come in just one signature shade. Tourmaline can be found in pinks, greens, blues, reds and combinations of colors, making every piece feel a little different.
While October is also associated with opal, we chose tourmaline for our October handmade birthstone chain because of its beautiful color variation and the way it pairs with both gold filled and sterling silver.
The Meaning Behind Tourmaline
Tourmaline has long been associated with love, friendship, compassion and positive energy. Different colors of tourmaline have also developed their own symbolic meanings over time, making this gemstone especially fun for jewelry that tells a story.
Whether October is your birth month or you simply love the colors, tourmaline makes a beautiful addition to an everyday jewelry stack.
Our Handmade October Birthstone Chain
Each month at The Greenville Spark, we feature a handmade gemstone chain inspired by that month’s birthstone. For October, we’re bringing tourmaline into the permanent jewelry bar.
The tiny gemstones add pops of natural color while still keeping the chain delicate enough for everyday wear. Because natural gemstones vary in shade and appearance, no two sections are exactly alike—and that’s part of what makes them special.
Wear it as a permanent bracelet, anklet or necklace, or pair it with another chain to create a layered look.
Not Born in October? That’s Okay.
Birthstone jewelry doesn’t have to represent your own birthday. Choose tourmaline to represent a child, spouse, best friend, anniversary or another meaningful October date.
Or choose it for the simplest reason of all: you love it.
We’re big believers that jewelry doesn’t need a rulebook.
