Birthstone Rings
Want to give a more personal gift that holds a special meaning? Birthstone rings are a great idea and make your friend, family member, or partner aware that you know all the little things about them. Great, if you’ve been accused of forgetting a birthday or two!
Birthstones are gemstones or crystals that are associated with each month of the year. So, you can match up your birth month to a specific stone. For this reason, birthstone rings are a popular choice if you want to individualise your jewellery and wear something personal to you.
The months of the year each stone represents have changed over time and this also differs depending on the country you live in. For example, in Japan, they don’t subscribe to the same set of birthstones as in the UK. Generally speaking though, you will find that birthstones are universal across Europe.
Explore our collection of birthstone rings and pick out the perfect gem to represent the month you were born.
Each birthstone is tied to a month of the year, but that’s not where the symbolism ends. These gemstones also hold specific meanings too. Here’s what the twelve birthstones are and what they mean:
January = Garnet = Friendship, health, love
February = Amethyst = Security, happiness
March = Aquamarine = Health, honesty, loyalty
April = Crystal, diamond = Love, purity, unity
May = Emerald = Rebirth, wisdom, good fortune
June = Pearl, moonstone = Success, happiness, love
July = Ruby = Protection, wisdom, love
August = Peridot = Good fortune, power
September = Sapphire = Wisdom, trust, loyalty
October = Opal = Luck, love, desire
November = Topaz = Good fortune, calm
December = Turquoise = Happiness, honesty, spirituality
Yes, we do. This approach to accessorising is perfect if you want to combine your birthstone with other rings and follow the fashionable stacking ring trend. Perhaps add the birthstones of family members, such as your children to the mix for a completely personalised and heartfelt way to wear your own birthstone ring.
You can also include other rings with customisable features such as names and initials to individualise your ring further. Stacking rings are a truly great way to wear birthstone rings in an adaptable style that suits you.
Of course! Birthstone rings are the quintessential birthday gift as they not only offer a sparkling trinket that’s sure to impress as a gift by itself, it also lets the gift receiver know you pay attention to detail. Just make sure that you pick out the right one!
Choosing a birthstone ring for a loved one is a personal way to give a gift with meaning. You can also pair a birthstone ring with a birthstone necklace or matching bracelet to make a complete set.
The metal that pairs the best with birthstone rings depends on a few factors. First of all, think about your precious metal preferences or the favourite materials of the person you are buying a birthstone ring for, if giving as a gift. It’s no good choosing a metal that your or the gift receiver doesn’t really wear as it will just gather dust in a jewellery box.
Secondly, consider whether you want to contrast against the hues of the birthstone or complement them. Different metals will enhance specific elements of each birthstone. For example, cool toned silver and platinum brings out the bluish hues of emerald rings, whilst rose gold and yellow gold offer warmth to the mix.
Birthstone rings are a popular style year after year, but this year, it’s all about taking that ring personalisation a step further. By adding engraving details or wearing a combination of different rings with your birthstone ring you can make the look your own. For example, try wearing birthstone rings as stacking rings, with more than one band on each finger.
If you are looking for a unique engagement ring you could add a birthstone to the design. Not only does the addition of a colourful jewel break up the traditional clear diamond aesthetic that so many engagement rings follow, but this personalises the ring further.
Your partner will be touched to see that you’ve added this small but meaningful detail to their engagement ring. What’s more, a dazzling birthstone ring beautifully complements other rings such as wedding bands and promise rings.
Of course! Engraving a birthstone ring with a loved one’s or your initials or name is a thoughtful way of making this jewellery item even more unique. You could also opt to include a date, such as their birthdate, the date you met, or another significant time. Our ring engraving service allows you to personalise your jewellery with a name, small message, symbol, or initials.
This is for those following zodiac signs rather than months of the year. if your birthday falls on a cusp, a transitional period between two star signs, lucky you! You have a choice between two birthstones. But how do you make a decision? There are a few factors that can help you to choose.
Well, you could go with your gut instinct and choose the birthstone that resonates most with you. For example, those born on a leap year may encounter this problem and have the choice between amethyst and aquamarine. We suggest that you pick the one whose energy is the most in line with how you want to live your life.
