Natural Ethiopian Opal October Birthstone Ring
Celebrate October birthdays with our Natural Ethiopian Opal October Birthstone Ring, featuring a genuine pear-shaped Ethiopian opal set in a smooth polished bezel.
Measuring approximately 7mm x 5mm, each natural opal displays its own unique play of colour, with soft flashes that shift as the gemstone catches the light. Because opal is naturally formed, no two stones will look exactly alike.
The sleek bezel setting surrounds the edges of the gemstone, helping to protect the opal while creating a clean, minimalist finish. Its low-profile design sits comfortably against the finger, making this opal birthstone ring easy to wear throughout the day.
Crafted from certified 925 sterling silver, the ring is available in classic Sterling Silver, warm 9k Gold Plated Sterling Silver, and romantic 9k Rose Gold Plated Sterling Silver.
The nickel-free construction is suitable for most sensitive skin, while the polished protective finish is designed to help maintain the ring’s shine with proper jewellery care.
A Dainty Opal Ring Designed for Everyday Stacking
This natural opal ring features a slim, lightweight band that feels comfortable on the finger without looking bulky or heavy.
Its refined shape makes it ideal for wearing alone as a delicate gemstone ring or pairing with your favourite stacking rings, wedding bands, engagement rings, and plain polished bands.
The pear-shaped opal adds a subtle point of interest while keeping the overall design minimal and versatile. It can be worn with casual everyday jewellery or styled with more detailed gemstone pieces.
Available in standard US ring sizes 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10, the ring is designed to fit true to size.
A Meaningful October Birthstone Gift

Genuine Natural Ethiopian Opal
Every ring is set with a genuine natural Ethiopian opal. Natural variations in colour, pattern, clarity, and internal markings are part of the beauty of the stone and should not be considered imperfections.
