There’s something magical about wearing jewellery that feels truly you. Whether it’s a birthstone, an engraving, or a charm that holds meaning, personalised jewellery is more than an accessory — it’s a reminder of who you are, where you’ve been, and what you value. 

One of the most beautiful ways you could add meaning to your jewellery is through your birth month colour. In this blog, we’ll explore the different birth month colours, what they mean, and how you can add them to your personalised jewellery.

The Origins of Birthstones

The tradition of birthstones goes back thousands of years. It’s believed to have biblical origins, with the Book of Exodus referencing 12 distinct gemstones representing the 12 tribes of Israel. Over time, these gems became associated with the 12 months of the year and later with the zodiac signs. 

Ancient civilisations — like the Romans — believed that these stones held powerful energies, offering protection, strength, or good fortune to the wearer. These days, birthstones have become a meaningful way to connect jewellery to one’s personal identity, emotions, and heritage.

What Is Your Birth Month Colour?

Birth month colours are often inspired by gemstones, natural elements, and seasonal tones that capture the spirit of the month you were born in. 

Here’s a quick guide: 

How to Personalise Your Jewellery with Your Birth Month Colour

Whether you’re designing a keepsake for yourself or gifting someone special, adding a birth month colour is a special way to make your piece truly personal. 

Here are a few ideas you could try: 

1. Coloured Gemstones. A classic option — choose a gemstone that matches your birth month. You don’t need to use real stones to capture the energy; high-quality crystal alternatives or coloured glass can still carry symbolic value. Our Bijou Bracelet is a beautiful choice that has the option to include a birthstone charm. 

2. Hand-Painted or Resin Elements. For a custom artisan feel, some pieces can include hand-painted elements or resin details. These are perfect for more unique, boho, or artistic pieces.

3. Enamel Accents. Love minimalist jewellery? Adding a touch of enamel in your birth colour is subtle yet stylish. Perfect for lockets, pendants, or charm bracelets. Our EDS Awareness Necklace has an enamel ribbon charm paired with obsidian. While obsidian is not traditionally a birthstone, it is often linked to the zodiac sign Capricorn.

4. Mixed Month Jewellery. Creating a piece for a loved one? Consider combining birth month colours to represent important people in your life. A perfect idea for a mum, grandparent, or best friend gift. 

5. Coloured Cord. For a more personalised touch to your jewellery, you can incorporate coloured cord that reflects your month. Our Fusion Bracelet allows two colours of cord, so you could choose black and red for July to represent ruby and onyx, or pink and white for October.  

Why It Matters

Wearing your birth colour isn’t just about style. It’s about celebrating your story, your energy, and your journey. Whether you believe in colour symbolism or simply love a pop of meaningful colour, adding your birth shade to jewellery is a beautiful act of self-expression. 

When you personalise your jewellery with a birth month colour, you’re doing more than accessorising — you’re telling a piece of your story. Whether you choose something bold, subtle, or sentimental, trust your instincts and choose what feels right for you. 

You deserve to wear something that feels like home.
