This month brings fiery opals to the lucky ladies with October birthdays, and those of us who just love opals. And Susan Foster Design Studio has two beautiful opal rings for you to choose from.

Both shimmering Peruvian opal rings are set in 18k yellow gold, accented with round brilliant cut white diamonds, and would be the perfect piece to add to your collection. Regardless of whether the opal is your birthstone, the diffraction of light found dancing off this stone creates a rainbow of irresistible colors that will add a glittering sheen with every movement of your hand.

Imagine one of these Peruvian opal rings paired with a long ivory belted cardigan, denim leggings and a pair of tan, suede over-the-knee boots for a casual fall day. For an autumn evening out, wear this ring with a creamy satin one-shoulder dress, cinched at the waist with a shimmering golden belt, a pair of metallic gold sandals and some subtly swinging gold earrings.

From time to time Delamina designers post a fire opal piece. Watch for this radiant gem as it will definitely add some heat to the colder months to come, and its fiery warm shade is the perfect color for autumn. The ring shown here was recently featured on the Delamina site.

Fire opals like this one are usually found in volcanic rock formations in an area of Southern Mexico close to the Yucatan Peninsula. They come in a variety of colors from yellow to red, but gem experts consider the vivid burnt red-orange combination, seen in this ring, to be the best quality stone. Today, the popularity of fire opals is believed to be at an all-time high.

Picture this statement piece with a ruby red sweater dress, accented with puffy sleeves and a flowing cowl neckline, paired with black leggings and a pair of black suede ankle booties for a day of errands or a weekend afternoon, sipping mimosas at a sidewalk cafe. During the evening, a black strapless cocktail dress and a pair of nude peep toe heels would add just the right sophistication to let this ring take center stage.

Aren’t you glad it’s October? Giving the Delamina woman the perfect reason to have an opal of your very own …
