"October's stone is the opal, a gem which possesses wonderful and aptly varied play of color, suggesting the glories of a bright fall day in the country... It is full of light and beauty... This stone is the symbol of hope..." ~Harriet Keith Fobes, Mystic Gems, 1924. ⁣ ⁣ Miss Fobes was a noted gem collector and author from the late 1800s and early 1900s. So popular was her collection that a necklace was gifted to Mrs. Coolidge as an inaugural present in 1924 and a private exhibit was held in Washington, DC in 1928. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #VintageRing #VintageJewelry #VintageOpalRing #AntiqueOpalRing #OpalJewelry #MJVJewelry #MaejeanVintage #FineJewelry #ButterflyRing #VintageButterflyRing #SignetRing #RetroRing #Opals
