  1. Find your Gemstone

    Each month has its own gemstone, each with its own special vibe and meaning. Your birthstone is like your zodiac sign but in gemstone form — and just as fun to know! If you’re not sure what yours is, not to worry — we’ve got you covered. Each stone is said to bring its own kind of positive energy: some for calm, others for love, luck, or protection.

    Think of them as little boosts of good energy you can carry around. And if you’re like me, wearing my birthstone isn’t just for the good energy; it’s a beautiful way to keep loved ones close by adding their birthstones too.

Different Birthstone & their meanings

January – Garnet
This deep red stone is all about love, passion, and energy. Garnet is said to bring strength, courage, and a touch of fire to keep you going strong through the winter months.

February – Amethyst
Amethyst is known for its calming vibes and protective qualities. It’s a stunning purple gem said to promote peace, balance, and help with intuition. Perfect for a bit of inner zen!

March – Aquamarine
This cool blue gem is associated with the ocean, making it all about serenity, clarity, and courage. Aquamarine is thought to bring calmness and help reduce stress.

April – Diamond
The king of gems, diamonds symbolises love and strength. They’re known for their clarity and resilience, making them a symbol of purity and eternal love.

May – Emerald
Emeralds are lush and green, representing rebirth and love. They’re believed to bring vitality and help foster balance in life and relationships. Who wouldn’t want a little green luck?

June – Alexandrite
Alexandrite is a colour-changing gem that shifts from green in daylight to reddish-purple in artificial light. This rare stone symbolises adaptability, luck, and balance. Its magical transformation is said to bring joy and remind wearers of life’s unexpected beauty.

July – Ruby
Rubies are fiery red, just like July! They symbolise passion, love, and courage, and they’re thought to bring energy and protect against bad vibes.

August – Peridot
This lime-green stone is said to bring abundance, happiness, and good luck. Peridot is all about positivity and fresh energy, like a mini slice of summer.

September – Sapphire
Sapphires are known for wisdom, loyalty, and protection. These deep blue gems are thought to bring clarity and calm to the mind, making them a symbol of intelligence and trust.

October – Tourmaline

Tourmaline comes in a rainbow of colours, but pink and green are especially popular for October. This vibrant gem symbolises love and compassion and is thought to provide protection and grounding, making it perfect for anyone looking for emotional balance and a splash of creativity.

November – Citrine

Citrine’s warm golden hue is all about positivity, abundance, and joy. Known as the “success stone,” citrine is believed to attract wealth and prosperity, making it a great choice for those looking to add a bit of sunshine to their lives.

December – Tanzanite

Tanzanite, with its rich blue-violet colour, is both rare and unique. This December gem symbolises transformation, calm, and spiritual growth. Tanzanite is known to help connect with higher consciousness, making it ideal for those drawn to introspection and new perspectives.

Creating your unique energy piece

Who doesn’t love a little boost of positive energy? Wearing stones that carry meaning and good vibes is like having a personal cheerleader with you every day. The easiest way to keep that energy close? Make it part of your jewellery lineup!

With birthstone jewellery, you can go beyond just your own stone — why not add one for your mum, your bestie, your partner, or even your pet?

It’s a fun way to build a completely  unique piece that reflects all the people (and pets!) who mean the most to you.
