What is Opalite and why is Taylor obsessed with it?
Opalite is a man-made gemstone inspired by the luminous beauty of natural opal. With its soft, iridescent glow and dreamy pastel tones, it’s easy to see why it’s capturing attention on and off the stage.
The pop icon recently shared that she loves the symbolism behind Opalite - calling it a reminder that happiness, like this stone, can be something you create for yourself.
“I love the metaphor of a manmade opal - like, you also had to make your own happiness. It didn’t just happen to you. You had to fight for it, work for it, earn it,” Taylor explains.
And fun fact: opal also happens to be her fiancé Travis Kelce’s birthstone. Genius.
