Birthstone Jewelry
Throughout history, various cultures like the Greeks, Romans, and Indians attributed mystical and astrological significance to gemstones, influencing their use in what became birthstone jewelry. Over time, birthstones gained popularity for their perceived influence on one's fortune, health, and personality traits. In the modern era, birthstones have become a cherished tradition, each month associated with a unique gemstone. Jewelry designers and craftsmen continue to incorporate birthstones into exquisite pieces, celebrating individuality and connecting wearers to their birth month's symbolic and historical significance.
Birthstones by month:
- January = Garnet
- February = Amethyst
- March = Aquamarine
- April = Diamond
- May = Emerald
- June = Pearl or Alexandrite
- July = Ruby
- August = Peridot
- September = Sapphire
- October = Opal or Tourmaline
- November = Yellow Topaz or Citrine
- December = Blue Topaz or Blue Zircon
Zink Metals offers an entire Color Collection that features birthstone necklaces, birthstone rings and birthstone earrings. The Eros Garnet Ring would be an exemplary birthstone ring choice for loved ones born in January. It features a deep red hexagonal cut garnet stone set in a unique steel and sterling silver angled pattern bar that runs across two fingers. It’s a piece for your Capricorn/Aquarius loved ones that like to stand out.
Another exceptional Zink Metals’ piece that would make the perfect birthstone jewelry gift is the Horizontal Green Uvarovite Garnet Necklace. Even though green uvarovite garnet isn’t the exact May birthstone, it is often mistaken for May’s birthstone, emerald, because of its matching color. Green uvarovite garnet is a crystal that brings strength and peace to the heart, so it’s a superb gift for someone you love.
Similarly, Zink Metals’ Bright Blue Druzy Necklace is a good color match for September’s sapphire birthstone. The pop of blue in this sterling silver pendant is the eye-catching statement piece to make an outfit stand out, and the perfect birthday jewelry gift to celebrate the Virgo or Libra in your life.
June’s birthstone is the beautiful pearl. Pearls, with their ethereal elegance, hold a timeless allure. Glistening like drops of moonlight captured within the depths of the ocean, these exquisite gems symbolize purity, wisdom, and transformation. Just as a pearl is born from the heart of an oyster, formed layer by layer in response to the intrusion of a foreign object, so too do humans evolve and grow through life's challenges. Zink Metals’ Biwa Pearl Circle Necklace would be a beautiful birthstone necklace gift for those with a June birthday.
Everyday Jewelry
Sometimes the best jewelry to give for a birthday is something that can be worn every day. It’s the necklace or bracelet that never gets taken off because it’s so dainty and simple that it matches every outfit and every occasion. And it stays on as a constant reminder of the loved one who gave it to you.
The Angled Necklace, by Zink Metals is a perfect example. This piece features an 18-in. Sterling silver necklace chain that holds an angled steel oval pendant that rocks freely with movement. These can be paired with another great everyday wear birthday jewelry gift, Zink Metals’ Angled Stud Earrings, which also feature freely moving steel ovals, giving just the right amount of adornment to an outfit without overpowering it.
A newer everyday jewelry birthday gift option that’s becoming popular is permanent jewelry. These are delicate gold or silver chain bracelets that are welded around the wrist so the wearer doesn’t have to worry about them falling off. Zink Metals offers permanent jewelry at special events, or through advanced ordering at Zink Metals’ studio. Think about planning a special birthday trip to Indianapolis, IN, and surprising your loved one with a permanent jewelry gift/application!
