I'm thinking carrot, because root veggie (since the newborns have bulbs on them, so grown underground) but it could be simpler and just a lovely orange tulip!

Even though I missed that, it's a pretty kit! I'm still waiting to see what the cats and the rats will look like.

I really like tourmaline, but am I the only one super sad it's not opal?

I was hoping for opal myself, but opal is really difficult to use as a gemstone for jewelry because of how soft and easily damaged it is; it's not a crystalline solid like diamond/sapphire/etc, so it can't be cut like one. (Opal jewelry is mainly cabochons, which are shaped and polished as opposed to faceted and often affixed to a sturdier, dark-colored backing.) Given the cut and faceted bonus gems that come with the full set every month, and given that we've already seen a soft birthstone replaced by a crystalline alternative (June's is usually pearl, but the June set is alexandrite), it makes sense we'd get a crystal for this set too.

Looking ahead, all of the above implies December's set may be tanzanite instead of turquoise.


at least I hope so because I love tanzanite lol

I did a jewelry class in college, and my god was it annoying to use cabochons... It looked beautiful though!

I didn't even notice the pearl change either! I just am obsessed with opals because they're like a rainbow (at least some are- there are so many variations it is SO COOL I love rocks)

I guess it makes sense for the shape, yeah, but I feel like sticking to the "official" ones wouldn't have been too crazy either. I dunno, I'm just here xD
