Birthstone Jewellery

Birthstone jewellery turns a birth month into something worn every day. This collection holds personalised necklaces, rings and bracelets, often in 925 sterling silver, made to order with engraved names and the stones of the months you choose — one for a new baby, or several for a whole family. Selected designs come in gold or rose-gold plating.

Which Birthstone Piece Fits the Moment

The format usually follows the occasion. A personalised birthstone necklace is the classic choice for a new mum or a milestone birthday — worn close, easy to layer, instantly visible. Birthstone rings suit quieter everyday wear, with one stone per child a popular request. Birthstone bracelets round out the range, including men's designs in leather and steel with engraved names.

A Stone for Every Month

January wears deep red garnet, February amethyst, March pale aquamarine, May emerald green, June pearl, July ruby, August peridot and September sapphire blue — and April sparkles with a clear diamond-effect CZ. You are not locked to birth dates either: many customers pick the colours the recipient loves, or combine an anniversary month with each child's birth month in a single piece.

Engraving Names Alongside the Stones

Most designs pair stones with engraving — first names, dates or a short message. Family pieces hold several names and matching birthstones together, so a mum's necklace can carry every child at once. Personalised pieces are made to order, which is why they are final sale; confirm spellings and stone months carefully at checkout. In personalised birthstone jewellery, first names engrave more legibly than full ones, and the smaller the piece, the shorter the text should be.

Gifting Occasions That Suit Birthstones

  • New baby — mum wears the baby's birth month from day one.
  • Milestone birthdays — an 18th, 30th or 50th marked with the recipient's own stone.
  • Mother's Day and grandparents' gifts — one stone per child or grandchild.
  • Anniversaries — the month you married, worn as a stone rather than a date.

Keeping Stones and Silver at Their Best

Wipe 925 sterling silver with a soft, dry cloth after wear and store pieces in a closed box or pouch to slow tarnish. Keep stones away from perfume, hairspray and household cleaners — put jewellery on last when getting ready — and avoid wearing it in pools, since chlorine dulls both the silver and the stones over time.

Frequently asked questions

Can one piece hold birthstones for my whole family?

Yes. Family designs hold several stones with matching engraved names — many necklaces and rings take multiple birthstones, so a mum or grandma can wear every child in one piece. Each product page shows how many stones and names a design carries.

Do I have to choose the recipient's actual birth month stone?

No. You pick the stones when ordering, so you can match a favourite colour, an anniversary month or a child's birth month instead — whatever carries the most meaning for the wearer.

What metal is birthstone jewellery made from?

Pieces here use 925 sterling silver, copper alloy or stainless steel, with selected designs plated in gold or rose gold. Stones are selected to match each month's traditional colour, with April represented by a clear diamond-effect CZ.

How long does a made-to-order birthstone piece take to arrive?

Personalised pieces go into production once you confirm names and stones, with typical delivery in 7-12 working days after dispatch. Order about four weeks ahead for birthdays and Mother's Day. Personalised pieces take up to 4-7 working days before dispatch, and many best sellers are dispatched in 1-2.

How do I keep birthstone jewellery looking new?

Put it on after perfume and lotions, wipe the silver with a soft cloth after wear, and store it in a pouch. Take it off for swimming — chlorine dulls both silver and stones.

December Birthstone Colour: Turquoise, Tanzanite or Zircon?
  • December has three birthstones on the current U.S. list (turquoise, zircon and tanzanite) and two on the UK list (tanzanite and turquoise); blue topaz is on neither.
  • Zircon is a natural mineral, zirconium silicate. Cubic zirconia is a different material, zirconium dioxide, and the cubic zirconia used in jewellery is synthesized.
  • On our birthstone pieces, you pick a month for each stone, and each month is one stone colour, so for December you simply pick Dec.
  • Confirm each person's birth month and check the spelling of every name before you order.
Birthstone Bracelets: How Many Stones and Who They're For
  • A family birthstone piece carries one stone for each person, matched to that person's birth month and often paired with their name.
  • How many stones a piece holds depends on the design; for a family piece, count the people you want to include first.
  • A month stone and a zodiac stone come from different systems, so they can be different gems; our pieces go by birth month.
  • Confirm each person's birth month before you order, and check the spelling of any name to be engraved.
