The Birthstone Jewellery Guide: A Personal Piece for Every Story

There’s something extra special about jewellery that tells a story, which is why we’re so excited to introduce our new LILY & ROO birthstone collection.

Designed to celebrate the people and moments that mean the most, our birthstone pieces add a personal touch to your everyday jewellery. From soft, subtle tones to brighter pops of colour, there’s a stone to suit every style.

Available in different stones and metals, they're perfectly worn alone, layered with your favourites or given as a thoughtful gift.

Every month has its own birthstone, each bringing a different colour and character to your jewellery.

January - Garnet | February - Amethyst | March - Aquamarine | April - Topaz

May - Emerald | June - Moonstone | July - Ruby | August - Peridot

September - Blue Topaz | October - Pink Tourmaline | November - Citrine | December - Cordierite

Your own birth month is a natural place to start, but it doesn't have to be the only way you choose. Wear the birthstone of your child, partner or someone special, or simply choose the stone and colour you love most.

Our birthstone jewellery is available in sterling silver and gold plated finishes, designed to work seamlessly with the jewellery you already own and love.

Sterling silver offers a cool, timeless look, while gold plated adds a warmer, classic finish. If you love both, don't be afraid to mix them - layering metals is an effortless way to make your jewellery feel more individual and personal to you.

Birthstone jewellery makes gifting feel instantly more thoughtful.

Choose someone's birth month for a birthday, a baby's birthstone for a new mum, or the stone of a child or partner for something with sentimental meaning.

Birthstones also make beautiful gifts for milestone birthdays, anniversaries and bridesmaids. They're personal without being occasion-specific, so they can continue to be worn every day.

A birthstone necklace is an easy way to introduce a little colour into your everyday layers.

Start with your birthstone and pair it with a delicate necklace at a different length, allowing each pendant to have its own space. One of our favourite pieces to pair with a birthstone is our Twisted T-Bar Necklace, which adds a modern, textured contrast to a delicate pendant.

For something even more personal, layer yours with our Curve Initial Letter Necklace. Pair your own initial with your birthstone for an everyday look that's completely personal to you, or combine the initial and birthstone of someone you love. A child's initial paired with their birthstone, for example, creates a subtle and meaningful combination you can keep close every day.

Don't be afraid to mix chain styles or metals either - the best necklace stacks are the ones that feel like you.

A little care will help keep your jewellery looking its best.

Make your jewellery the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. Avoid wearing it in the shower, bath or swimming pool, and remove your pieces before exercising or going to sleep.

Apply perfume, moisturiser, hairspray and other beauty products before putting on your jewellery, allowing them to dry first.

When you're not wearing your pieces, store them somewhere cool, dry and away from direct sunlight or moisture. Keeping jewellery individually in a box or pouch will also help prevent tangling and scratching.
