Have you ever heard of "birth jewellery"? Quite simply, it's a piece of jewellery adorned with your birthstone. How do you know your birthstone? How do you wear this type of jewellery? We tell you all about it!
What is a birthstone?
A birthstone is a gemstone (also called a semi-precious stone or natural stone) associated with a month of the year. Your birthstone can be set in any type of jewellery: rings, bracelets and necklaces. The result is delicate, timeless jewellery that goes with everything. Your birthstone can be presented as a pendant, mini pearls or rhinestones inlaid in a motif, for a classic or bohemian style.
Let yourself be seduced by our new miniature birthstones to be mounted on a tie. Minimalist and full of love, they are designed to be accumulated according to the important dates in your life. We wanted to honour the ties that bind a family together. To do this, we wanted to focus on the essentials, our core business: personalisation.
Why choose a birthstone jewel?
A piece of jewellery adorned with your birthstone is above all symbolic. It adds colour and elegance to your outfits. By wearing them as jewellery, you can benefit from their virtues. Of course, you can choose a piece of jewellery set with a particular stone for its colour or benefits, but selecting your birthstone will give it a special value. It's also a great gift idea: on a friend's birthday, you can give them a piece of jewellery set with their birthstone or that of their children.
