Common birthstone questions
Can I wear a gemstone that isn’t my birthstone?
Of course—you make the rules. Choose a gemstone for its colour, or it's connection to someone special, or just because you like it.
Can I wear birthstone jewellery everyday?
You can, but it's best to take extra care. Many varieties of gemstones are softer and more delicate, making them easier to scratch, chip or break if you aren't careful. Some are also porous, meaning they are susceptible to damage for some chemicals so as cleaners or even body care products. With any type of jewellery, it is best to remove it when swimming, doing dishes, or any physical activities that may physically damage it.
Does birthstone jewellery make a good gift?
Absolutely! Birthstone jewellery feels personal and thoughtful, making it perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, new arrivals, and just-because moments.
Can I combine several birthstones in one piece?
Definitely! Some jewellery pieces will combine different varieties of gemstones as part of a unique style. We can also help you create custom jewellery where different gemstones each represent important people in your life, such as partners, children, or parents.
