Opals
October's child is born for woe,
And life's vicissitudes must know,
But lay an opal on her breast,
And hope will lull those woes to rest.
The Opal derives its name from the Latin word "opalus," meaning precious jewel which says it all really. These stunning gems were once a favourite of ancient monarchs for their beauty as well as their associated protective powers. Opals were believed to ward off evil as well as protect your eyesight. These stunningly delicate jewels are as popular today as they were then and will make a stunning addition to your jewellery collection.
