A 564-year-old tradition.
Gemstones have long been believed to carry symbolic meanings, and over time each calendar month became associated with one or more stones. The modern list used in the UK was largely standardised in the early twentieth century — though some months have always carried alternative stones.
A birthstone makes a thoughtful gift because it's personal — tied directly to the recipient's month of birth. They're popular for birthday gifts, push presents, christenings, eighteenth and twenty-first birthdays, and "mother's necklaces" featuring the birthstones of children or grandchildren.
At jewellerybox, every birthstone collection runs across multiple styles — from delicate everyday necklaces and stud earrings to statement rings and bracelets. Most pieces are crafted in sterling silver or gold-plated silver with cubic zirconia in the colour of each stone. For solid gold, see our 9ct gold birthstone collection.
