What is the Birthstone for December?
The December birthstone is turquoise, one of the oldest gemstones ever worn by humankind, and one of the most instantly meaningful to give. It has been cherished for over 6,000 years, carried as a talisman by Persian kings, carved into amulets by the ancient Egyptians, and worn by warriors who believed it guided their aim and kept them safe. In Victorian England, turquoise was the stone of sentimental jewellery, gifted between friends because its blue-green hue mirrored the forget-me-not flower, a symbol of friendship and remembrance. A stone with that kind of history carries something with it. Wearing it, or gifting it to a friend, feels like more than a gesture.
What is the December Birthstone colour?
The December birthstone colour is the distinctive blue-green of turquoise. It is one of the few gemstones whose name has also become the name of its colour. Ranging from robin's egg blue to deeper sky blue and soft teal, no two pieces of natural turquoise are exactly alike. Many carry veins of matrix running through them, making each stone as individual as the person wearing it. Our December birthstone jewellery using natural turquoise and turquoise crystal captures that same cool and serene blue, bringing the colour and calm of the stone into pieces designed for everyday wear.
