Birthstones

I love working with stones and crystals and realized I should make more of a conscious effort to source and design pieces with Birthstones in mind. These make such great and thoughtful gifts! The internet shows so many stone options for Birthstones and Zodiacs, it's hard to weed through what is accurate. I'm just doing the best I can with what makes sense for us and the stones I like to work with and what I'm drawn to as well as what's beautiful, accessible and affordable. Many designs have multiple Birthstone options. If there's something of mine that you'd like to customize with your Birthstone, just let us know! 

January - Garnet
We started this series in February so we'll probably wait till next January to whip these up. We do have a few garnet options already HERE

February - Amethyst
Aquarius Season is Jan 20 - Feb 18, Pisces season is Feb 19th-Mar 20th
Amethyst is a variety of quartz, with a vitreous or glassy luster. It typically comes in shades of violet and purple. The spiritual meaning of Amethyst is groundedness, tranquility, and calm. The literal meaning of Amethyst is “not intoxicated” – its name translates from the Greek word améthystos. To this ancient, wise culture, the Amethyst crystal was of the utmost importance, and the myth associated with it still lives on inside it to this day. See the Amethyst Collection HERE.

Aquamarine - March
Pisces season is Feb 19th-Mar 20th, Aries Season is March 21st -April 19th
Energy-wise, Aquamarine is ruled by the Moon and is infused with yin or feminine energy. In its healing and nourishing effects, Aquamarine can be compared to moonstone. Because of its flowing, peaceful energy, Aquamarine has a strong ability to help move, protect and purify your own energy and aid emotional healing as well as deepen meditative states. Its energy can feel like splashes of fresh ocean water—playful and a bit mischievous, too! See the Aquamarine Collection HERE.

Herkimer Diamond - April
Aries Season is March 21st -April 19th, Taurus Season is April 20th - May 20th
The April Birthstone is Diamond and since I don't really work with Diamonds we've made a collection with Herkimer Diamonds. As a Taurus, I'm obsessed with these! Herkimer Diamonds are water-clear quartz that come from Herkimer, NY. We've rounded up our usual suspects of Hestia Earrings, Artemis Earrings and necklaces, Taliswoman Earrings and Pendants and hoops and imbued them with these beautiful crystals. See the collection HERE.

Emerald - May
Taurus Season is April 20th - May 20th, Gemini Season is May 21st-June 20th
Being a stone of love and romance, Emerald will bring joy, enhance emotions, memory, faith and clairvoyance. It is said to benefit one’s intuition, promoting communication though truthfulness. As a Sacred stone to the Goddess Venus and associated with the Heart Chakra, it is told to preserve love, as well as acting as a symbol of hope. It is considered by many to be a great stone of prophecy, bringing wisdom and reason to the wearer. For many, Emerald acts like a tranquilizer for one’s troubled mind. See the Collection HERE.

June - Moonstone
Gemini Season is May 21st-June 20th, Cancer Season is June 21st - July 22nd
Moonstone is said to be a stone for “new beginnings”, as well as inner growth and strength. It soothes emotional instability and stress and stabilizes emotions, providing a sense of calmness.

August - Peridot

Peridot is a prized gemstone known for its summer spirit, its good-luck vibes, and its ability to keep you calm and feeling safe no matter what is going on around you. One of the most potent healing crystals, Peridot is sure to stabilize your moods and it's a great stone to alleviate stress and anxiety. Being a stone that connects to both the heart chakra and the solar plexus chakra gives you a great foundation to find your balance and stability in the storms of the world. Given its resemblance to the color of money, peridot has often been associated with prosperity and good fortune. For years, peridot beads and talismans were believed to offer protection, as well as promote love, happiness, and wealth. See the August Peridot Collection HERE.

September - Sapphire
