The Perfect Custom Birthstone Rings

Celebrate Personalized Style with Haverhill Jewelry

Birthstones have been used to reflect the characteristics and qualities of birth months for centuries. Birthstone rings and jewelry can easily become a piece you will cherish for years to come, along with your future generations.

History of birthstones

As humanity, we’ve always been interested in gems and the significance, quality and characteristics each gem brings into our lives. The first mention of birthstones dates back to biblical times when the first high priest of the Israelites Aaron supposedly wore a breastplate that was decorated with 12 gems. Later, a historian St. Jerome started encouraging fellow Christians to start wearing these said stones. This turned into a tradition that lasted for centuries after, where people would collect all of the 12 stones to wear in the form of an ornament, and around the 8th and 9th centuries the trend evolved to only wearing a certain stone during the month in which its powers were supposed to be more intense. Today’s tradition of wearing our birth month stones only started around the 16th century in Germany and Poland and spread worldwide over decades.

Wearing Birthstones as Tradition

Because birthstones represent our birth month, we tend to feel more connected to them than we feel to other stones. When wearing jewelry you can even pair your birthstone with your partner’s and your child’s stones, to keep them close to you at all times. The most beautiful part of custom birthstone rings is that you can create a design that speaks to your own individuality the most and allows you to wear a piece of your own creation, which makes it even more special in so many ways. 

Customizing your own birthstone

Create a 14k ring in a gold metal of your own choosing – only you know whether yellow gold or white gold fits you and your style better. Besides, you can also choose your gem’s cut. Go for a centerpiece emerald cut gem and accent diamonds on a ring, or make a statement with a dainty yet meaningful princess-cut birthstone on your ring. If you’d like to combine more birthstones, custom eternity rings will be your piece to love every day – and they make the perfect stackable rings as well.

A carefully curated stack of custom birthstone rings can remind you of your loved ones, as you can combine different birthstones in one single ring or you can accentuate the birthstone that’s the most meaningful to you on a centerpiece ring.

Which birthstone to choose

Traditionally, the birthstones on the list below go with the month written before it, however, sometimes wearing gems is fun just because of the color, a certain look you’re trying to go for or the meaning behind a gem.
