The October birthstone, opal, with its shimmering pearly appearance, is particularly mysterious and beautiful. Opal is rare and valuable and making a huge comeback in popularity right now. Opal is associated with optimism, comfort, creativity, intuition and passion.

Each opal cluster strand is made by hand and is as different as each stone included. Opal chips are strung on wire, making between a 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 inch length of stones.

Chains are gold-filled or sterling silver and measure approximately 17 inches long including the length of stones. Longer or shorter chains are available upon request.

Birthstone cluster strand necklaces are made by hand at Bang-Up Betty’s North Little Rock, Arkansas, studio.
