October Birthstone Banter

Opals are an often-overlooked gemstone option, but October birthday girls know you can never go wrong with this glittering gem. Here are some fun facts about the opulent little beauties, and a great idea on where to get some - at rock bottom prices.

It's all about JewelClub you libras and scorpios (and the folks who love them). Visit this Friends and Family site here and enter the code INSIDER to get wholesale prices on some stunning opal gems. And they've got every fine jewelry category stocked if you want to go outside the birthstone box. Did I mention they have free shipping too? Happy Birthday to you!

Opal:The Queen of the Gems

Opal, the birthstone for October, is one of nature's most prized gems. The stone - which also happens to be the recommended jewelry gift for couples celebrating their 14th wedding anniversary - was mined by eastern Europeans, the Aztecs and the ancient tribes of Central Africa.

Opals have been featured in the crown of the Holy Roman Emperor and the crown jewels of France. They were mentioned in the plays of Shakespeare and the novels of Sir Walter Scott. Napoleon gave an opal to Josephine. Queen Victoria gave them out as wedding gifts.

One of the reasons this gem has been so revered is because of its supposed mystical powers. Scandinavian women wore opals in their hair to prevent it from going gray. The Arabs thought opal would ward off lightning and grant invisibility to its wearer. Other powers ascribed to the gem include the ability to grant vigor, aid the heart and kidneys and protect against fainting and infection.

Worshipped by the Romans as a symbol of hope, fidelity, purity and good luck, opal is sometimes called the "queen of gems" because the stone can flash patterns of color representing every hue of the rainbow.

This "play of color" is one of opal's signature characteristics. The gem is found in a range of hues, including white opal (the most common); black opal; "boulder" opal (black opal with iron oxide); crystal or water opal, which is transparent; and fire opal, which has a yellow to orange to red body color.

The vast majority of the world's opal supply comes from Australia. Black opal is the rarest variety and therefore the most valuable. White opal is also mined in Brazil. Fire and crystal opal can be found in the United States (Nevada) and Mexico.

Brilliance of color and color pattern are critical in determining the value of opal. Opals with strong flashes of red fire are generally the most prized. Stones with blue or green flashes are more common and subsequently less valuable. Stone size also helps determine price, since the gem is very rare in larger sizes. Prices can vary from a few dollars per carat for common white opal to more than $1,000 per carat for fine black opal. Most stones are not faceted and usually cut into rounded cabochons to enhance color play.

Perfect natural opals are extremely rare and expensive. Many are treated to enhance their appearance. One common technique is to place the opal in a sugar solution and then in sulfuric acid, which blackens body color and makes the play of color more pronounced. Other treatments include applications of colorless oil, wax and resin, plastic, or synthetic resins and hardeners to fill cracks and improve durability.

With a hardness of approximately 5.5 on the Mohs scale, opal is relatively fragile, and care should be taken not to scratch, chip or crack it. To clean opal, use a soft cloth moistened with olive oil. Do not use chemical or mechanical cleaners. Also, avoid heat and dry conditions that could dehydrate and crack the stone.

Alice R. Scott / Barbara Stutman / Laura Simeoni

You know you're a metalsmith when silver runs in your veins. This amazing piece by Virginia's Alice R. Scott, bejeweled with a single tooth, is like an external vascular system for your hand.

Speaking of hands, here's another in crocheted silver from Montreal's Barbara Stutman (I've also thrown in some legs for good measure; the ones on the left are a ring and brooch sculpture).

Bonus link:

Get Your 'Aloha' On The Rocks!

In Hawaii, it's basically summer all year round. After 5 years in rainy rainy Oregon, I was dying to come back home several years ago. All I could think about the entire time I was up there was, 'I need to get back to the sunshine- STAT!'. I missed the beach, the food and all the yummy fruits we have here- pineapple, starfruit, mangoes- you name it, I missed it! During those dark winter months, I often daydreamt about lying on the beach with a Plantation Iced Tea or a Pina Colada in hand. I think that's the same dream most people have when they think 'Hawaii' too.

So when it comes to brides planning an outdoor wedding in the Isles, incorporating all those lovely things people think of about Hawaii is crucial. Not only are you planning an elegant ceremony on the beach, you want to end the day with an awesome party! And parties mean drinks. And in Hawaii, we're talking Pina Coladas, Daquiries, lots of tropical flavors- coconut, pineapple, mango and on and on. We all know every wedding's got to have a great bar.

Enter Shaun Henderson of Aloha On The Rocks. He'll get your friends and family all set with cocktails, Island style. Have a favorite flavor in mind? Looking for a signature drink that will remind guests of your wedding and their time in Hawaii? Shaun will whip it up for you, no problem.

When it comes to a sunset ceremony, Pacific Aisles wedding planner Christina always recommends serving a non-alcoholic drink to keep your guests hydrated before the big night. Our favorite? A Plantation Iced Tea. Here's our recipe with a twist:

Ingredients
4 Balck tea bags
24 mint leaves, torn
4 cups boiling water
4 cups canned pineapple juice, chilled
6 lychees, peeled, deseeded, chopped
3 cups ice cubes

Mix!
Place tea bags and half the mint in a large, heatproof jug. Add boiling water. Jiggle tea bags for 1 minute. Discard. Refrigerate tea until cold.
Divide chilled tea, pineapple juice, lychee and remaining mint between 2 large carafes. Stir until passionfruit seeds separate and tea is well combined. Chill until ready to serve.

And to Make it Alcoholic...
Half-fill each glass with tea. Add ice cubes and top with ginger beer. Serve iced tea immediately.

Hawaii wedding planner Katy Castillo's got a couple more drink ideas for you here...

We're go glad to have Aloha On The Rocks join us at Pacific Bride Guide- we'll see you there!

Lil Wayne's Diamond Bonanza

What to get a Grammy award-winning rapper who has everything? How about a $1 million Chopard diamond watch? Oh, and a $200,000 black diamond chain for good measure.

No whiff of an economic crisis in these parts, thank you very much...

The watch was a special-order gift purchased by Brian "Birdman" Williams, who is chief executive of the 'aptly' named Cash Money Records, the label that includes Lil Wayne as one of its featured artists.

So I am admittedly a little late to this party (the news of this outrageous display of blingy wealth went down late last month), but I couldn’t resist the opportunity to share the best part of this story for those of you who missed the shenanigans:

Not only did the cash king get millions in diamond jewelry to bring in his 27^th year, he got a diamond-studded birthday cake to go with the flowing cases of Dom.

A diamond birthday cake? OK. Now I’ve heard everything.

What do you guys think of this crazy diamond display? Has the famous phrase, 'Let Them Eat Cake', taken on an entirely new meaning? Or if you got it? Flaunt it!

Hawaii Wedding Style... On SALE!

Here's a few hints about today's theme: Lovely ladies, Maui and... SALE! Two of Pacific Bride Guide's fave ladies on Maui are offering big savings for Island brides-to-be. I've adored designer Tamara Catz's breezy style since first visiting her shop a couple of years ago in the sleepy town of Paia. For the girl that's big on the beach and low on the fuss, Tamara's dresses are a perfect fit. We just got wind (and, of course, had to share!) that Tamara's hosting a Blowout Bridal Sale online and in her shop October 19th-25th.

I'm so used to seeing Tamara's flowing gowns that when I came across this sequined tank dress I just about fell off my seat. I could totally see myself in this with gold slippers and a couple of Pua Jewelry bangles. And the price? $265. Sweet.

Lovely Maui gal Lisa Lappe, affectionately known as Mauidivegirl in the Etsy world, is offering shoppers 15% off on all pink jewelry through the month of October in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. Her 'Pacific Cluster' necklace has stolen my heart- and to help a great cause? Even better.

A wedding in Hawaii is all about blue skies, sand between your toes AND great style. For more of our fave local designers click here!
