October Birthstone Jewellery: Rose Quartz & Its Meaningful Beauty
October’s birthstone, rose quartz, carries with it a softness that has long symbolised love, kindness, and emotional harmony. From its ancient role as a talisman of affection to its modern place in jewellery boxes, rose quartz offers more than delicate beauty, it holds a message of compassion.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful October birthday gift, or simply curious about the meaning behind rose quartz jewellery, here are some of the most asked questions and gifting ideas.
What is the real birthstone for October?
Rose quartz is October’s modern birthstone, known as the stone of love.
While opal has historical ties to October, rose quartz has become a cherished alternative, celebrated for its gentle pink hue and heartfelt symbolism. Believed to encourage unconditional love and self-acceptance, it’s a stone that feels personal to wear and meaningful to gift.
What are the two birthstones for October?
Rose quartz is the modern choice, while opal remains the traditional stone.
Opal’s iridescent shimmer has fascinated for centuries, but rose quartz brings an approachable, calming quality. Together, they balance each other: opal with its shifting light, and rose quartz with its grounding, affectionate energy. For many, rose quartz has become the gemstone that better reflects October’s warmth.
What does the rose quartz birthstone symbolise?
Love, kindness, and harmony.
Rose quartz has been treasured across cultures as a stone of compassion. Ancient myths describe it as a gift from the gods to spread peace on earth, while modern crystal healers often call it the ultimate heart stone. Choosing rose quartz jewellery is like gifting a reminder of gentleness and self-love, making it especially meaningful for October birthdays.

Which stone should October-born wear?
Rose quartz for love, opal for inspiration.

Many October-born women choose to wear rose quartz daily for its grounding calm, and keep opal pieces for occasions when they want to feel inspired and bold.
