Birthstones
Jewellery made with birthstones is lovely for an unusual and personal present. For each month there are two options, with one gem usually being rather more precious than the other, giving a choice within any budget.
We make a range of cufflinks using birthstones, and can of course make any style of jewellery incorporating the relevant gems.
For another twist, did you know that every month is represented by a flower? This is a lovely tradition dating from Victorian times, and can be used to make a very individual and personal piece of jewellery. One client commissioned a necklace for his wife, on the birth of their third child, incorporating the relevant flowers for each of their children’s birthdays.
