Calling all December babies: it’s officially turquoise season.
It’s no surprise that the month of celebration lists not one but three treasures for the December birthstone. The most fabulous way to embrace this winterfest is to flaunt your birthstone and end the year with a bang. Although December is blessed with three brilliant stones that have their own unique take on blue, (tanzanite, zircon, and turquoise), our heart is set on the gorgeous stone that has been cherished for millennia — turquoise.
Recognised as a lucky stone in many cultures where it’s believed to possess good fortune and health, turquoise has played an important role in human history and continues to be one of the most cherished stones for jewellery. According to American Gem Society, it has been revered by everyone from the ancient Egyptians and Persians to the Aztecs and Native Americans, and the impressive stone has long been used in both body adornments as well as weapons and ceremonial items.
Between the blue to green hues and semi-translucent to opaque hue, turquoise has an unmatched beauty that makes it just so stunning. One of the oldest on Earth to one of the first mined and used in jewellery, this timeless beauty is highly-esteemed for its striking namesake colour, and we see why.
Here, we’ve put together a list of five different ways you can sport the December birthstone this month. From elegant statement earrings to subtly chic pieces, here are the jewellery pieces you can gift your loved ones this merry season.
