A Year of Meaningful Moments: The 12 Birthstones & Their Stories

At our core, we believe jewellery should do more than sparkle—it should tell a story. Our handcrafted sterling silver pieces are made with intention and purpose, using beautiful semi-precious birthstones that celebrate who you are and where you’ve come from.

Whether you’re shopping for a thoughtful birthday gift, a symbolic token, or simply treating yourself, birthstone jewellery offers a deeply personal touch. Each stone holds unique energy and meaning, making it a timeless keepsake that speaks straight to the heart…

January: Garnet
Garnets are seen as the great protector, especially during darker times. How fitting for the start of the year—when the festivities are over and winter feels its longest. This sultry deep red stone is not only a shield for the soul, but also a symbol of eternal friendship.

February: Amethyst
Associated with stability, courage, inner strength and peace, Amethyst is a beautiful all-rounder. Worn for good luck and health, it’s a powerful companion for those navigating life’s ups and downs. Plus, that vibrant purple? It’s a real showstopper in sterling silver.

March: Aquamarine
Evoking the calm of the sea, Aquamarine is the stone of peace, clarity and courage. Its airy blue tones range from barely-there to bold ocean hues—just like the sea itself. A subtle yet striking choice, it brings a breath of fresh air to any jewellery piece.

April: Crystal Quartz
Known as the master healer, Crystal Quartz is anything but plain. This luminous clear stone pairs beautifully with sterling silver, catching and reflecting the light effortlessly. It’s said to amplify energy and thought, making it a powerful piece for setting intentions.

May: Emerald
Our emerald-hued cubic zirconia is a stunning (and sparkly) alternative to the real gem. Emerald is worn to improve memory, faith, and youth—and is said to help ease panic and calm anxiety. The vibrant green pops beautifully against sterling silver, making it both meaningful and eye-catching.

June: Pearl
A favourite among brides, pearls symbolise love, happiness, and friendship—perfect qualities for the beginning of a new chapter. For June birthdays, pearls are also said to offer clarity and protection from negativity. Our freshwater pearls look elegant in sterling silver, but do remember: to keep their gorgeous lustre, they need to be kept dry.

July: Ruby
Our pinky-red manmade stone is a beautiful alternative to real rubies. Known for attracting good luck, Ruby is worn to improve harmony, imagination and wisdom. It’s a bold and radiant birthstone that catches the eye—bright, passionate, and full of character, just like July birthdays!

August: Peridot
This fresh lime-green stone is a sign of loyalty, dignity and protection. It’s believed to enhance growth and openness—perfect for new beginnings and big changes. Peridot is bright, cheerful and vibrant, bringing a touch of summer to your jewellery all year round.

September: Sapphire
Our deep navy Sapphire stones are manmade alternatives to natural sapphires, offering the same rich colour and timeless beauty. Representing faith, wisdom and foresight, Sapphires are said to bring truth, insight and interpretation to the wearer. Elegant and meaningful—a perfect pairing with sterling silver.

October: Opalite
A beautiful, sparkly stone that symbolises innocence, health and hope. Opalite brings happiness, confidence and healing to the wearer. Usually a soft white with a gentle glow, but we also offer stunning alternatives—including popular Blue Opalite. Whichever you choose, it’s a dreamy and uplifting gem—just remember not to get it wet, as it can dull the sparkle.

November: Citrine
Citrine is a warm, autumnal orangey-yellow stone that promotes vitality and good health. Said to enhance energy, happiness and optimism, it’s a true pick-me-up for darker months. A sunshine stone in jewellery form.

December: Turquoise
A recognisable teal stone, sometimes flecked with black ‘veins’, Turquoise has long been worn for luck, health and good fortune. It’s also believed to boost creativity and wisdom. This natural gem makes a striking statement—but be careful with water, as it can cause discolouration.
