Our New Take on Birthstone Jewellery

There’s something so meaningful about birthstone jewellery.

Celebrating the month in which you or someone you love was born, birthstone jewellery is both beautiful and symbolic.

We love gemstones and we love storytelling, so could there be anything more perfect?... 

What is birthstone jewellery?

Gemstones are filled with meaning, and birthstones are particularly personal. With a gemstone for every month of the year, they’re used to celebrate and symbolise the month of your birth.

When you wear or gift a birthstone, you get to harness the healing and protective benefits they provide and enjoy the personal symbolism.

Intrinsically celebratory, birthstones can be used to mark your own birthday, or to capture joys and memories associated with another month.

Our new take on birthstone jewellery

As always, we love putting a Carrie Elizabeth spin on timeless pieces!

Our brand-new birthstone pendants re-imagine a classic style with a distinctive, vintage-inspired feel. Each pendant features a different cut and shape of gemstone for every month, from glittering facets to smooth colour-pop cabochons.

We know many of you love to wear more than one birthstone at a time, and these new pendants are designed to be mixed, matched and layered to tell all your stories. Whether you’re celebrating your family, your loved ones or simply the stones you love, these pendants are made for individuality.

And as they're handcrafted in a choice of gold vermeil or sterling silver, you can wear them every day, forever!

How to style birthstone jewellery

Birthstones are perfect for creating layered necklaces or personalised charm bracelets that feel as individual as you are. With an opening bail, our new Birthstone Pendants clip easily onto your favourite chain or bracelet.

Combine multiple stones to represent your loved ones, your children or simply your favourite colours. They're perfect to stack with initials, zodiac charms and other meaningful motifs, to make your look uniquely yours.

If you're choosing a gift, a birthstone necklace or birthstone pendant makes a truly thoughtful present, blending style and sentiment in equal measure.
