Birthstone Necklaces and Earrings for Every Month: Brand New Collection Launch
This new unique birthstone collection has a piece of jewellery for every month of the year. So, if you’ve ever wondered which stone you needed for a June birthstone necklace or what to pick for December birthstone earrings, I’ve made this guide for you to find exactly what you need.
But first, why birthstones?
This collection goes back to a time I spent in Portmeirion. Sitting by the rocks in the early morning and looking out to sea, I fell in love with the shapes of lichen. This beautiful, slow-growing organism forms with great resilience.
Maybe it reminds me that we can do the same.
Since then lichens have inspired my collections of millinery, bridal hair accessories and now, jewellery. Encased in silver and gold, each piece of jewellery features a birthstone like a little raindrop. These are design-led, modern heirlooms, created to be passed on.
Birthstone jewellery feels personal. Maybe because the stones relate to birthdays, those times in the calendar that mark our lives.
And as my birthstones are ethically sourced with the credentials to back it up, they make us feel connected to the earth again.
