Opals are subtle incorporating many beautiful colours and it’s a delicate shade of lilac that’s been selected for October’s dress to complement the shimmering shades of her opal pendant necklace. A modern strapless bodice with plunging neckline to the back, decorated with lace and ribbons and finished with a bow sits atop a flounced skirt which drapes over petticoats to the floor. A delicate lilac satin shoe decorated with a white flower peeps out from below the skirt. October’s hair is swept back in a high ponytail held in place with a flamboyant lilac bow.

Treat a loved one to an extra special gift on their birthday with the Birthstones collection. This tradition is based on an ancient lore which associates individual gemstones with a particular month of the year. Our skilled ceramic artists have developed hand painted decorations for each figurine to harmonise with the distinctive colours of each birthstone. A beautiful gift for a loved one with striking attention to detail.

The birthstone for October is the opal, which stands for hope, purity, health and innocence.
