Birthstones
For centuries, certain stones have been associated with different months of the year. These birthstones are often given as gifts or worn as a personal symbol related to birth, natural qualities, and different life stages.
Some traditional birthstones are precious stones, such as diamond, ruby, sapphire, or emerald. At Ovie Bijoux, we prioritize natural fine stones. When a traditional birthstone is a precious stone, we offer an alternative in fine stone known for its beauty, symbolism, and accessibility.
Traditional and Alternative Stones
Traditional birthstones include certain precious stones such as diamond, emerald, ruby, and sapphire. At Ovie Bijoux, we prioritize natural fine stones. Here are the main correspondences:
- April: Diamond → Clear Quartz
- May: Emerald → Green Aventurine
- July: Ruby → Carnelian
- September: Sapphire → Lapis Lazuli
Why offer alternatives in fine stones?
Precious stones possess timeless beauty and a rich history. However, they are rarely used in Ovie Bijoux creations.
Fine stones offer a great diversity of colors, nuances, and symbolism while remaining more accessible. They also allow for the creation of unique jewelry that naturally fits into our gentle, intentional, and nature-inspired universe.
These alternatives do not replace traditional birthstones. Rather, they provide another way to explore their symbolism through carefully selected fine stones.
A Symbolic Stone Above All
Birthstones are often chosen to mark an anniversary, celebrate a birth, or offer a meaningful gift.
Some people like to wear the stone associated with their birth month throughout their lives. Others prefer to explore different stones according to their needs, intentions, or the periods they are going through.
There is no right or wrong way to choose a stone. The important thing is to find the one that naturally resonates with you.
