First thing’s first – know your birth month and the corresponding gem. Not sure what rock reppin’ your astrological squad? No worries, I made a super cute graphic to have on hand. From emeralds to aquamarines, each stone has its own unique vibes to match your personality. 🥰

Once you know your birthstone, it’s time to consider factors like metal, length and chain thickness. Gold, silver and rose gold are always in style but feel free to experiment! For everyday ease, opt for a 16-18 inch length. Thinner chains are great for layering while thicker ones make a bold statement. 

Don’t be afraid to mix and match stones either! Pair yours with your bestie’s or significant other’s for a couple goals. You can even stack multiples of the same gem for maximum brilliance. 

Last but not least, think about pendant details. Heart shapes, initials and zodiac signs add personal flair. Just make sure any engravings are super delicate – you don’t wanna cover up that natural shine! 

With these tips in your back pocket, you’ll be picking the perfect piece in no time. As always, let me know if you need any outfit inspiration after your purchase! Much love and many sparkles to you all. 💕

January Birthstones – Garnet 

The fiery yet grounded garnet has long symbolized faith, truth and commitment in many ancient cultures. No wonder it makes such a powerful talisman for determined Capricorns and focused Aquarians. The garnet’s rich hues resemble the warmth of hearth and home, perfect for cozy winter birthdays. 

Garnet Colors and Cuts

Garnets come in gorgeous shades like raspberry red, forest green and golden brown depending on their mineral composition. Some favorite cuts for showing off their vivid color are rounds, ovals, squares and cubes. The octagonal cut is also uniquely eye-catching…

February Birthstones – Amethyst 

This royal gemstone of intuition and spirituality has adorned empresses and visionaries for millennia. As the stone of sober mindedness, amethyst reminds us to slow down and dream big like creative Pisceans. Its purple hues match the romantic atmosphere of Valentine’s month to a T.

Choosing Amethyst Jewellery 

When selecting an amethyst birthstone necklace, consider cluster or point cuts to best showcase its palette of lilac to deep violet shades…

Metal Types for Birthstone Necklaces

The base material is just as important as the gem itself when crafting a statement birthstone necklace. Here are my top metal recommendations based on beauty, durability and Your vibes:

Silver 

Lightweight yet long-lasting, sterling silver is a chic choice to accent most any birthstone. Its brilliance complements softer pastel shades. For Cancer and Pisces water signs, silver has lunar associations too…

Gold

Whether in buttery yellow, antique rose or rich yellow, gold brings radiance to brighter and deeper hued gems like rubies, tourmalines, and citrines… 

Choosing the Perfect Chain Style

Goddess energy abounds with chain maille – its interlocking metal links flow ethereally for an edgy mystical look…
