As it’s no doubt clear, we all love personalised items, and at Kefi, we can't get enough of birthstones. Each month of the year has its own dedicated birthstone, steeped in rich beliefs dating back to the 15th century.
January
For our January girls, Garnet is the birth month stone. It is a bright red, fiery crystal of passion. This birthstone ring should remind you to keep your feet firmly on the ground and some believe that garnets are a protective stone, shielding the wearer from injury. Symbolises Love, Passion and Energy.
February
February’s birthstone ring features Amethyst. It’s a light purple with a pale, cool hue. As the colour purple has long been connected with royalty, amethysts were favoured by the ruling class, so our birthstone rings are perfect for our February queens. Represents Tranquillity, Peace and Wisdom.
March
Aquamarine is the birthstone for March. The name "aquamarine" comes from the Latin for "seawater", and the stones were thought to protect seafarers. These stones can be found in both blue and blue/green hues. Associated with Serenity, Harmony and Clarity.
April
April keeps it simple with Diamonds. Diamond is the most popular ring stone choice in the world. These gems are prized for their classic beauty and clarity, and diamond jewellery has become a status symbol. Signifies Purity, Love, and Eternity.
May
May has the vintage glam of a glowing green Emerald for its birthstone. Legend has it that wearing emeralds will imbue the wearer with heightened intelligence and allow them to think objectively. Symbolises Tranquillity, Peace and Wisdom.
June
June’s traditional birthstone is Alexandrite. It dons the lush green attire in the sunshine’s embrace and turns into a radiant ruby under the warm glow of incandescent light. Alexandrite is believed to enhance intuition and emotional well-being. Symbolises Adaptability and Balance.
July
Ruby is the birthstone of July. Rubies are a radiant red gemstone. Rubies were thought to calm anger and help the wearer navigate passionate social situations. Associated with Passion and Protection.
August
Peridot has an olive green appearance and often features a unique yellowish overtone not observed in emeralds. Peridots have been credited with protecting their wearer during the night. Symbolises Strength and Healing.
September
Sapphire is for September and has a beautiful, deep blue hue. Sapphires are considered a protective gemstone. They may shield the wearer from physical harm as well as bad intentions and envy. Represents Wisdom and Loyalty.
October
October’s birthstone ring uses Tourmaline. Pink Tourmaline is a stone of love, compassion, emotional healing and self love. It helps calm ones emotions in times of distress, and is the perfect stone to carry if you suffer from daily bouts of anxiety. Associated with Creativity, Inspiration and Emotional Balance.
November
The birthstone for November is Citrine. Citrine wears the yellow hues of a sun-kissed horizon. Citrine is thought to attract wealth and success, promoting a positive outlook and inner strength. Symbolises Abundance, Prosperity, and Positivity.
