This time of year comes around so quickly. There’s so much to do and buy in the lead up to Christmas and New Year. But, often, the biggest stumbling block is: what to buy loved ones for Christmas? They seemingly have everything. The latest gadget? They bought that for themselves last month. New homeware pieces? They’ve got double of most things, especially mugs… so many mugs! We all know we only ever have one favourite mug. And, unfortunately, your loved one will only secretly give your home gift to charity, or someone else, like that vase you bought them last year, which mysteriously disappeared. But, there is one thing that your loved one might not have: a beautiful piece of birthstone jewellery.
It is believed that meaningful and personalised jewellery make the best gifts for that special occasion. We spoke briefly about birthstone jewellery last month in a blog post detailing the history of their origins and explaining the meaning behind each gemstone - as well as letting you know which month they’re associated with!
Buying Your Loved Ones Birthstone Jewellery
Birthstones are imbued with mythology and intrigue. The origin can be traced back to ancient Roman times; a period where the 12 stones were commonly associated with the 12 signs of the Zodiac. When we think of birthstones, we picture legends detailing their healing and protective powers, or see them as spiritual symbols. In ancient times, it was very much believed that wearing a birthstone, especially during its assigned month, would heighten these powers.
Many of us do still believe in the healing, protective and spiritual powers of crystals and gemstones in modern times. If you're looking to buy a gift, incorporating your loved one's zodiac sign as part of choosing a jewellery piece can add a meaningful and personalised touch. We’ve listed the below zodiac birthstones alongside a beautiful piece from our gemstone collection. Please click here for more jewellery in our gemstone collection.
