WHAT ARE BIRTHSTONES?

Birthstones are semi-precious gemstones that represents a person’s month of birth according to the Gregorian calendar.


Birthstones have been significant since the first century relating back to the Book of Exodus. In modern times, there has been some effort to standardise the list of stones relating to each month but there is still some differences between countries and cultures. Our birthstone colours are listed below.

Birthstones are often worn as birthstone jewellery and we often receive orders from customers buying beautiful pieces from Jamie London to celebrate their friends and relatives’ month. We also regularly create a birthstone necklace for grandma with the birthstones of all her children and grandchildren or birthstone bracelet for mum with the initials and birthstones of her family. Such a special gift that they’ll treasure.
