Birthstone For January

The birthstone for January is the garnet – on both the Modern and Traditional List.

Although we think of the garnet as always being red in color and much of the symbolism of the January birthstone comes from this color. It can also be found in a multitude of other colors – yellow, orange, green, purple, black, brown and colorless.

The garnet birthstone stands for purity, truth, faithfulness and friendship.

There is a wonderful range of garnet jewelry.

Emerald Rings – May Birthstone

Emerald rings are perfect for women with a birthday in May as they are the May birthstone.

Diamond And Emerald Claddagh Ring Irish Jewelry

This Claddagh ring will proclaim your Irish heritage to the world. As if you need a reason. :)


Diamond And Emerald Claddagh Ring Irish Jewelry

The symbolism behind the Claddagh ring means Let Love and Friendship Reign Forever so it is the ring for both friends and lovers. This ring is handcrafted in solid 10K gold with 2 genuine emerald birthstones in the crown and 5 diamonds completing the setting.

There are customs to consider when deciding upon which finger to wear a claddagh ring.

“The meaning and significance of the Claddagh ring is not just in the crown, heart and clasping hands, it also extends to the hand on which the ring is worn and the direction in which the crown on the ring points. In case of a married or engaged person Claddagh rings are worn on the left hand with the crown pointing away from the (the person wearing the ring) heart. For a person willing to consider love the ring is traditionally worn on the right hand with the crown pointing away from the heart. For a person not interested in starting a relationship the Cladagh ring is worn on the right hand with the crown pointing towards the heart.”
From Claddagh History

Turquoise Necklaces and Pendants

Here’s a selection of something a little different in turquoise necklaces and pendants for lovers of the December birthstone.

white-turquoise-pendant

I love the look of this white turquoise pendant. The chain compliments the look of the turquoise so well. Unfortunately not a lot of information is given about the materials used other than that the birthstone used is a turquoise.

Capped Teardrop White Turquoise Necklace

turquoise-necklace

This necklace has 28 round turquoise birthstones and 9 trapezoid shaped birthstones to make up a very unusual necklace. The stones are all hand knotted onto double silk thread – 19 inches long.

19 Inch Long Turquoise Necklace


turquoise-and-pearls-necklace

Real pearls, real turquoise – what more could you want!. There are 68 turquoise drops and 70 genuine pearls (6-7mm) all hand knotted onto an 18 inch silk thread for a fabulous turquoise necklace.

Turquoise Necklace – Green Or Blue, Take Your Pick

Is a turquoise necklace just the thing you need to complete a certain look?

green-turquoise-necklace

Sterling Silver Genuine Turquoise Stone Nugget Chip Toggle Torsade Necklace

What interests me with this first necklace is that a reviewer comments on it being green turquoise. The images do not always show the color of birthstone jewelry as realistically as you would hope but it does seem as if this interesting natural looking turquoise nugget chip necklace is more green colored than blue.

As most of the turquoise jewelry that you see is blue this makes for a unique look. It is possible to buy a matching bracelet and earrings to compliment this necklace.

You’ll see that several of these December birthstone necklaces are described as torsade. This simply means several strands twisted together.

10-strand-turquoise-necklace

This is a lovely 10 strand torsade necklace and it comes with a 4 inch extender chain if the 17 inch length is not sufficient. Notice the unusual silver cones at the clasp ends. The turquoise is blue with this item.

Ten Strand Turquoise Torsade Necklace


silver-and-turquoise-necklace

Although this necklace says ‘genuine’ turquoise do be aware that it is made from reconstituted turquoise. So yes it is genuine but the stones also contain resins and dyes to get the look that the designer wants. There is no problem at all with that so long as you are aware of the fact. :)

Sterling Silver Genuine Turquoise Double Strand Necklace w/ Toggle Closure,17.5

The turquoise stones are polished so this piece has a quite different look to the more natural look of the others.
