Birth Stones

In September 2024, I started making crushed Opal rings, which I thoroughly enjoyed!  I loved working with Opal, its a beautiful crystal, and easy to work with.  I’m not going to lie - it’s expensive to source, but the crushed Opal was the cheapest I could source, and more versatile to work with.

From there, I realised that Opal was the birth stone for October, which fitted well with the timing of my Opal project.

I then got the idea to create monthly ‘Birth Stone’ collections, and not just Opal.

So, that, in a nut shell is how we got here.

Here, I will list the months and there birth stone(s), some months have more than one that can be used, and I will list what I will be using, or do my best to.  It will off course depend on what I can source.

Please note this list is taken from a ‘Birth Stone’ poster I purchased, and may vary depending on source.
