Jewellery By Birthstones

Good Morning REVEllers ! we are just one day away from the weekend . I know most of you are excited to get to sleep a bit later in bed , some of you might dread it because you have to spend money because its the  Christmas  Season :-) While we are on that note , today i would like to share with you some tips on what to buy for your loved ones according to their birthstone :-) Did you know that apart from Electronics , Jewellery is the top thing people ask for on their wishlists? Before i go any further .. let's jump into it shall we

Please note: Your birthstone can come in a number of different sizes and Colours

January - Garnet : This symbolizes Eternity , Truth and Faith

Garnet is found in the greatest variety of colours of any gemstone, occurring 

in every colour except blue. The most common colour for garnet, however, 
is a beautiful rich red




February -Amethyst : This symbolizes Health , Luck and Wit


Amethyst ranges from light to deep purple.

Amethyst is perfect for all forms of jewellery


March - Aquamarine : This symbolizes Understanding and happiness

The March birthstone, aquamarine, is always pastel blue, 
although the darker the colour the more valuable 

the stone.


April - Diamond  : This symbolizes Eternity , Courage and Health

From the word adamas, meaning unconquerable, the diamond is the 

ultimate symbol of love, the best example being the engagement ring
When looking for a diamond, always consider the 4 Cs - carat

claritycut and colour.



May - Emerald : This symbolizes Goddess , Fidelity and Love


Ideal for both classic and contemporary style jewellery, 

and earrings, this gem is valued in much the 
same way as diamonds by cut, clarity and colour. 
A perfect gem for gifts, whether or not 
it is the birth month.


June - Pearl : This symbolizes Nobility ,Beauty and Peace


Pearl comes in various shades, including 

shimmering white and glistening pink. 


July - Ruby : This symbolizes Enthusiasm , Strength and Love


The deep red of ruby has long been associated with religion and spiritual matters. 

The birthstone ruby is second only to diamond for hardness. Ruby is a variety 
of the mineral corundum.



August - Peridot : This symbolizes Success , Peace and Luck


An olive or bottle green stone, peridot is the perfect centrepiece for pendants
earrings and rings. In Roman times it was referred to as evening emerald 

as it did not lose its lustre at night but was still visible by lamplight. 


September- Sapphire : This symbolizes Serenity and Truth


The natural colours of sapphire, sky blues, deep blues 

and flower petal pink bring to mind images of nature, 
spring days and fresh air. Sapphire is a beautiful, 
natural, evocative gem, ideal for earrings



October - Opal :This symbolizes Wisdom , Purity and Hope


The most important criteria when valuing opal is the 

play of the colour, but we also consider the 
thickness, cut, patterning, weight and finish. 
This gemstone captures the imagination 
and inspires legends - a fantastic gem 
for jewellery and gifts.


November - Topaz : This symbolizes  Sincerity , Wisdom and Courage



Topaz comes in a variety of colours, including white, yellow 

and blue. Blue topaz is most commonly used in jewellery and is the perfect 
centerpiece for ringspendants and earrings. This beautiful gemstone is 
the ideal birthstone gift.



December - Tanzanite : This symbolizes Prosperity ,Happiness and Health



Turquoise varies in colour, 

from blue to green, depending on the balance of copper 
and iron in its make up. The most desirable turquoise 
is believed to be the sky blue gem from Persia, however 
in Tibet greener turquoise is equally prized. The highest 
quality turquoise is pure, radiant and sky blue. 



Every month is represented by a beautiful birthstone that has designated qualities associated with it.  I actually did this post because i thought all Birthstones once they represented a certain month , they would have that one look . I had no idea the various stones came in different colors. My Birthstone is Amethyst , but i'm honestly not a huge fan of purple , so i figured that from now on , i'll just pretend that i was born in April . Diamonds are Forever :-)
