Birthstone Jewellery

Birthstone jewellery blends symbolism with everyday style, making it one of the most meaningful additions to a jewellery collection. The natural colour and individuality of each stone add subtle vibrancy to minimalist jewellery stacks. 

The Camile & Stone NZ birthstone jewellery collection is crafted to combine the meanings of the birthstones with modern, fluid silhouettes. Our collection celebrates the meaning behind each birthstone while showcasing modern, fluid silhouettes. Their versatile designs transition effortlessly from everyday wear to special occasions. 

What is birthstone jewellery, and how do I choose the right stone?

Birthstone jewellery includes accessories that hold the stone corresponding to your month of birth. Whether it be a birthstone ring, set of earrings, necklace, or bracelet, each of these pieces acts as a representation of the stone that aligns with your birthday. Birthstones have long been associated with symbolic meanings such as protection, tranquillity and emotional balance. 

Each birthstone has traditionally been chosen for classic jewellery. You can select the stone that aligns with your birth month by choosing yours from the list below:

• January: Garnet
• February: Amethyst
• March: Aquamarine
• April: Diamond
• May: Emerald
• June: Alexandrite or Pearl
• July: Ruby
• August: Peridot
• September: Sapphire
• October: Tourmaline or Opal
• November: Topaz or Citrine
• December: Tanzanite, Zircon, or Turquoise

Can I personalise birthstone jewellery with multiple family birthstones?

A piece of personalised birthstone jewellery is a beautiful way to reflect your personal narrative, and including multiple family birthstones offers a moment of reflection each time you reach for it. These everyday pieces blend vibrancy with stunning design, whether you opt for a personalised birthstone bracelet, ring, or necklace. 

Customised jewellery lets you create meaningful additions to your accessory collection, and our Original Initial Letter Necklace is a coveted option. You can represent your family's initials on this delicate piece, blending it with your personalised family birthstone jewellery for a minimalist reflection of your loved ones. Their durability makes them a forever piece in your jewellery collection, allowing you to reach for them every day.

How can I care for my birthstone jewellery?

Though designed with durable materials and craftsmanship, a few simple care tips can help ensure your custom birthstone jewellery remains flawless, creating a forever piece in your wardrobe. Gently clean your pieces in warm water with a non-abrasive soap to remove any accumulated dirt. 

Once your pieces are dry, you can use a high-quality jewellery polishing cloth to help restore their shine. We recommend storing your birthstone jewellery in a safe place, away from bumps that could damage your pieces when you’re not wearing them. 

Can I combine birthstones in a single custom piece?

Personalised birthstone jewellery that combines multiple pieces can be used as a beautiful way to represent a family unit. Whilst our ready-to-order options don’t hold this, our artisans can help you to create your dream piece. Simply reach out to our customer service team with your query, and we can work with you to create your dream design.
