Jewellery has the power to be the one little thing that makes you feel unique
– Elizabeth Taylor
Birthstones are associated with meaning with each month linked to a gemstone to symbolise specific traits, strengths and energies. These stones are deeply personal markers, representing when you were born and who you are.
Modern birthstone jewellery moves beyond superstition. It is about intention. Your birthstone reflects your personality and values where a season of life creates an emotional connection that trend-driven jewellery rarely achieves. Welcome to the MYJS Guide to Birthstone Jewellery.
Birthstone Jewellery History
The history of birthstones date back thousands of years – certainly long before they became jewellery trends. Our love for gemstones and jewellery carries protective and healing powers, with roots traced to the Biblical Breastplate of Aaron, featuring twelve stones representing the twelve tribes of Israel. These stones became linked to the twelve months of the year, with the gemstones becoming a talisman for strength, guidance and good fortune. By the early 20th century, birthstone jewellery became more standardised, making it easier to gift and wear stones tied to birth months. While the meanings have evolved, the intention has not. Birthstone jewellery has always been about connection, symbolism, and identity, turning a simple gemstone into something deeply personal and enduring.
Jewellery is something that has to do with emotion. That aspect of jewellery really interests me

Wearing Birthstone Jewellery
Meghan Markle frequently wears aquamarine, her March birthstone, choosing it for both its elegance and emotional meaning. Kate Middleton is synonymous with sapphire, her September birthstone, reinforcing loyalty, wisdom, and timeless style. Rihanna has been spotted wearing ruby jewellery that mirrors her bold, passionate July energy, while Victoria Beckham often layers birthstone pieces to represent her children, turning jewellery into a wearable family story. These icons do not wear birthstones as trends. They wear them as identity markers, reminders of self, and symbols of what matters most
Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say – and not giving a damn
– Gore Vidal
