An antidote to fall’s bold, gemstone-rich colors, a good pastel lends softness and warmth to the coziest of ensembles.
If you’re looking for one shade in particular to embrace this season, all signs point to pink.
Barbiecore is surely part of the reason why pink is having such a moment, but then, it can hardly be said pink in some form hasn’t been in vogue over the last decade.
Does opal ever tire of being so good at everything? Aside from seemingly possessing mystical powers, the birthstone of October looks pretty in pink too—yet another variation of the gem that secures its crowd-pleasing status.
Pink opal is said to have a calming effect when worn, aiding with anxiety and stress (though, a superstitious person might not feel right about wearing opal if it isn’t their birthstone).
Regardless, here are some of the latest pink opals for October and beyond.
