October is for Opals!

October is for Opals!

Hi again gorgeous people!  Can you feel the spooky vibes in the air? That’s right—it’s October, which means we’re stepping into opal season, and we couldn’t be more excited! If you’re lucky enough to be born in this magical month, then congrats, because opals are your birthstone, and it's hard to pick favourites, but we've been obsessed with opals.  Opals are known for their dreamy, iridescent glow, and here at July Child, we’ve been in love with them since day one.

In fact, our very first design ever, Head in the Clouds, featured opalite, and we’re still obsessed with that piece to this day. It’s not just nostalgia—we’ve kept that opal love affair going strong, and it's become one of our best sellers!  So to celebrate, we're dedicating this guide to our most-loved opalite designs and helping you pick the perfect piece for yourself—or to drop some hints for the perfect gift (Christmas is coming). Ready to find your new fave?

Clouds ☁️

We’re starting off with one of our most iconic collections: our Clouds series. If you’re all about those dreamy, whimsical vibes, this is the perfect place to start.  Let’s kick it off with a true July Child classic: the Head in the Clouds Ring.  This was one of our very first designs, and it’s still one of our all-time favourites. The ring features a soft, glowing opalite cloud that’s perched on our signature ribbed design. Whether you’re daydreaming, manifesting, or just vibing, this ring is here for it.  If you’re into that cloudy look but want a little extra somethig, meet Cry Me a River. Think of it as the moodier sister to Head in the Clouds—still dreamy, but with a touch of Manchester’s iconic rain. This design features the same opalite cloud but adds a sparkling CZ stone.  We’re extra proud of this one because it’s inspired by our hometown!  Now, for those of you who love a pop of colour, the Cotton Candy Cloud Ring is calling your name. This version takes our classic cloud design and gives it a playful twist with a pink opalite stone!

Stars ✨ 

If, like us, you’ve got a thing for the cosmos, get ready to fall in love with our Stars collection. These pieces are all about channeling that celestial energy, starting with the Starstruck Ring! It's one of our bestsellers, and it’s not hard to see why. It’s a total statement piece, featuring a glowing opal star that’s pure nostalgic vibes.  And if you’re looking for something new and on-trend, our Starry Sky Ring in both gold and silver is a total showstopper. This is one of our newer designs, but it’s already making waves (and selling fast!). The T-bar design makes it perfect for layering. It’s delicate enough for everyday wear, but it’s also bold enough to make a statement. Whether you stack it with your other faves or let it shine solo, this one’s perfect.

Astrogals 💫 

Last but not least we’ve got the Astrogal collection. These pieces were inspired by our love of space and everything that’s out of this world. If you’re as obsessed with the cosmos as we are, you’re going to want to grab one (or all) of these.  The Astrogals Necklace and Earrings are the stars of this collection. They feature a cute little astronaut girl making her way through space, and her helmet is made from a gorgeous blue opalite stone.
