October was once the eighth month of the year (hence the prefix ‘octo’, which usually pertains to eight, even though it is now the tenth month). This aspect of your anniversary month is quite easy to translate into jewelry gifts – look for pieces that utilize the balance and luxury of eight-stone designs, like the special blue-green sapphire ring at the beginning of the article. It is certainly a gift for special anniversaries (or special women!), with its price tag … but she will wear it to death, and it is incredibly easy to coordinate with every outfit. The sapphire has a unique blue-green color, incredibly deep, that contrasts beautifully with the clarity of the eight white diamonds that surround it. The combination of princess cut diamonds and the round-cut sapphire is unique and stunning – just like the lady receiving it!

The drop style amethyst earrings at right are a more affordable way to incorporate October’s ‘eight’ theme into you anniversary gift choice. Made for gentle, graceful women, these drop style earrings make a face come alive without overshadowing her features. Each amethyst is a sweet, but not invisible (!) 3mm across, and they are set in nice, affordable 9ct white gold. The yare made for pierced ears, and designed for evening wear.

October was also traditionally the month of the rosary in the Roman Catholic tradition, and if your wife is a church-goer, she’ll love the spiritual twist to the jewelry at right. Both the Hot Diamonds ‘Blessed’ pendant, and the citrine pendant on white gold make use of the rosary motif for October, and the Hot Diamonds piece has the added benefit of being quite a unisex design – great for both him and her – or you and them! Both are easily affordable – you won’t get kissed for buying a beautiful present, then immediately kicked for spending so much money! The Hot Diamonds one has a single brilliant cut diamond set in one side of the cross, which is a sterling silver base. The citrine cross features a delicate yellow citrine set on beautiful quality 18ct white gold, at a dainty 1.5cm size. Either is suitable for both everyday and special occasion wear.

Opal is the birthstone for October – and since your marriage was born this month, it is also the signature stone for your wedding! If you’re looking for a gift for your husband, the opal inlay silver ring is one of the most affordable, yet stylish and masculine ways to incorporate the October birthstone in the men’s jewelry range. The band is a nice, slimline 5mm size, so will even fit comfortably alongside his wedding or engagement ring without crowding his finger. The base metal is sterling silver, for budget friendliness, and the fact that the opals are only inlay helps keep the cost down. Just like each marriage, each one of these rings is a true individual, with tis own opal colors – it will be primarily blue, but will definitely have some natural variation.

For wives, the opal drop earrings at right are a graceful, versatile way to include the birthstone for your marriage. The sterling silver base hold two 12.5mm x 6mm opal boulder doublets – an impressive size for such a great price! They have hook style fittings, so are not suitable to keep in day and night, but are very easy to take in and out. They are a dainty, but still conspicuous, 2.6cm in length overall. The earrings ship for free to you, no matter where you are in the world, and of course gift wrapping is taken care of .

The signature flower for October is the calendula – which you probably recognize as a variant of the daisy, with long thin yellow or white petals, arranged in a neat halo around the pollen base. The design is actually rarely found in jewelry – but the gorgeous diamond ring at right approximates it well! The calendula petals are actually formed by baguette cut diamonds, with the pollen as a brilliant cut diamond in the center. It has an ultra-slim 1.5mm band, so is comfortable to wear along with her wedding ring or engagement ring – or as a right hand ring, of course! The ring has a diamond weight of .11ct combined, and they are set on the highest quality 18ct white gold, with no added nickel.
