Pandora birthstone jewellery differs from more traditional versions, as it's sustainable. While birthstone accessories are usually made with gemstones, sourcing these has an environmental impact. So, in an effort to be kinder to the planet, Pandora’s birthstone pieces have been made using man-made crystals instead.
Here, we’ll take you through which pieces the brand has designed to give a nod to every month from January to December.
January: Dark red
For their January birthstone jewellery, Pandora have created a dark red crystal that looks strikingly similar to the gemstone often associated with this month: garnet. We stock a January birthstone charm that can be added to a Pandora bracelet that your loved one already owns. Or, if you want to go all out, it could be added to a bangle as part of a gift set. We also have January birthstone rings, which can make a particularly romantic present.
February: Purple
March: Aqua blue
If your loved one was lucky enough to be born in March, Pandora's new aqua blue jewellery will make the perfect gift. The crystals Pandora have created to give a nod to this month are truly stunning, and your friend or relative is sure to be impressed, whether you treat them to a charm, gift set, or ring. We guarantee any — or even all — of these would make a fantastic addition to her jewellery collection.
April: Opaque milky white
When it comes to traditional birthstones, diamonds are considered to be the official gemstone of April. Pieces of jewellery that are decorated with these stones tend to be very simple but chic, and that's what Pandora have achieved with the birthstone accessories they've created to mark this special month. The opaque milky white stones that adorn Pandora's April birthstone jewellery have a very classic look that your friend or relative is sure to love for years to come.
May: Opaque rainforest green
Emerald is the traditional birthstone of May babies, and Pandora have done a fantastic job of replicating this with their opaque rainforest green crystals. They're very vibrant, and contrast beautifully with the sterling silver charms and rings they're set in. If you're looking for a personal gift that's sure to impress your loved one, a charm, gift set, or ring that's adorned with these man-made crystals will make a fantastic choice.
June: Opaque misty rose
For their June birthstone jewellery, Pandora have created crystals that look very similar to pearls, which are the official birthstone of this month. As you can imagine, the jewellery embellished with these crystals has a very classic look and is a safe choice if your friend or relative is a fan of simple but stylish accessories. So, any of these pieces would make great gifts for the June babies in your life.
July: Blazing red
The official birthstone of July is the ruby, and Pandora have been able to create a crystal that looks very similar. So, if you're looking for the perfect jewellery gift for someone with a July birthday and you know they like to inject some colour into their looks, the blazing red accessories in this collection will be a great choice. You can also choose between a charm, ring, or gift set, giving you plenty of freedom to pick something that fits your loved one's style, as well as your budget.
August: Spring green
The crystals Pandora have created for their August birthstone jewellery are a beautiful shade of spring green. They look a lot like the Peridot gemstones you'll typically find adorning more traditional birthstone accessories that are designed to celebrate this particular month. If you're looking for the perfect jewellery gift for someone who was born in August, a charm, ring, or gift set that's decorated with these stones will make an especially personal present.
September: Sea blue
There's no denying that sapphires are stunning gemstones that can add a dash of luxury to a piece of jewellery, but sourcing them can take its toll on the environment. So, you'll be happy to know that Pandora have created sea blue crystals that have a very similar look, but without the environmental impact. These have been designed specifically for the brand's September birthstone jewellery collection, which features a charm, ring, and gift set. If you're looking to buy an eco-conscious present for a loved one who was born in September, any of these would make a fantastic choice.
October: Petal pink
For their October birthstone jewellery, Pandora have been able to create petal pink crystals with an iridescent sheen, which almost replicates the look of an opal — the more traditional gemstone typically seen in these types of accessories. If you're looking to buy a personalised present for a friend or relative whose birthday is in October, a charm, ring, or gift set that's embellished with one of these crystals is sure to impress.
November: Opaque warm yellow
If you've done any research into November birthstone jewellery, you'll know citrine is the gemstone that's traditionally used to adorn these accessories. But, sourcing these gems does have a negative impact on the environment, which is why Pandora have created opaque warm yellow crystals that give a very similar look. If you know a November baby who deserves a little treat, consider surprising them with a charm, ring, or gift set that showcases one of these stones.
December: Opaque sky blue
Finally, if you like the look of December birthstone jewellery that's adorned with zircon, but you don't want to contribute to the negative environmental impact of sourcing these stones, Pandora has a solution for you. They've designed their own December birthstone jewellery using opaque sky blue crystals that they're able to make in an eco-friendly way. So, whether you're looking to treat yourself or a loved one whose birthday is in December, a charm, ring, or gift set adorned with these crystals would be ideal.
Something from Pandora's brand new birthstone collection will make a thoughtful and stylish gift — plus, you don't have to worry about the environmental impact of the crystals that adorn these pieces.
