By combining elements that represent their birth month, you can give a gift they are sure to love.

October

Symbolising inspiration and creativity, October birthdays have the unique choice of opal and tourmaline as their birthstones. For gift ideas, opt for presents that highlight their creativity and tie in the colourful nature of their birthstone, such as fashion accessories and statement jewellery.

November

Despite the dark nights of winter in November, people born in this month have the joyous options of topaz and citrine as their birthstones. Topaz comes in various colours, with blue and yellow being the most popular, symbolising love and joy. Citrine, a sunny yellow gemstone, also represents positivity and happiness.
