Good to Have You Back
Jewelry makes us feel beautiful, no doubt, but how can we ensure it also has a deeper, more meaningful connection with us? An exciting way is to choose a jewelry design featuring your birthstone and gift it to yourself. And what better choice than a bracelet, a symbol of good luck and protection? Whatever your birth month, we have the perfect bracelet for you.
January
The great thing about January’s gemstone, the garnet, is its distinct, deep red hue, which makes it stand out. Since it’s a warm gemstone, accessorize it with similarly warm-toned attire like creams, soft gold, and buttery yellows. Stacking it with a slender diamond bracelet is a good rule of thumb—the dark contrast will make the white sparkle pop even more. Garnets are more affordable than other red stones like rubies, and you can effortlessly wear this rich gemstone in an everyday delicate bracelet.
February
If you’re lucky enough to be born in February, you’re in good company with powerful royals who have donned amethyst, the purple February birthstone, in its myriad violet shades. An amethyst bracelet is a statement piece in itself, thanks to its dark, striking hue. Opt for outfits in monochrome shades like white or light grey, which truly bring out the glamour of the stone. At work, you can choose simple stud earrings in platinum or white gold to complete the ensemble. For an evening out, pair it with a delicate amethyst pendant on a slim chain. Free-flowing silhouettes are ideal to complement this gemstone.
March
As the cold winter months give way to the first flush of spring, March’s birthstone, aquamarine, brings the color of clear blue seas and skies. An aquamarine bracelet is a calming accessory that adds a touch of allure and cool sophistication to your look. To break the icy monotony, team it with other jewelry pieces in yellow or rose gold. Needless to say, outfits in various shades of blue, lavender, or eggplant complement the stone perfectly. A sundress for a casual outing or a crisp cotton shirt and skirt for the workplace are ideal outfits.
April
What more could an April girl ask for? She’s already got the queen of gemstones as her birthstone—the diamond. Since a diamond tennis bracelet is sure to be the center of attention, keep the styling minimal and sophisticated. A fitted white blouse and a pair of trousers, or a little black dress, are ideal outfits. Add a diamond ring for some extra sparkle without overwhelming the look, and choose simple huggie earrings. Keep your hair in a sleek ponytail or a neat bun with loose tendrils framing your face.
May
Emeralds are synonymous with prosperity and wisdom, making them the perfect gemstone for May-born women to flaunt. The emerald is a versatile stone that can be paired with solid print outfits in other cool hues like teals and peacock blue or contrasting shades such as blush pink. However, balance is key, so you may not want to go overboard with the color palette. Pair them with jewelry featuring peridots, diamonds, or other emeralds. Keep your makeup neutral, with smoky eyes and soft lips.
June
With a pearl bracelet on your wrist, you’ve already established that you exude class and refinement. But you don’t have to be predictable with how you style your pearl jewelry. Knit tops, plaid skirts, and even blue jeans can elevate the way your pearl looks. Choose a vintage beaded bag and pumps to complete your outfit. You can even go avant-garde by layering your pearl bracelet with cuffs and other chunky jewelry, or keep it simple by complementing it with a pair of pearl studs.
July
With its bright, red sparkle, the ruby is a showstopping gemstone full of passion and life, so there’s really no need to overthink its styling. The amazing part is that it complements a variety of color tones—both warm and cool—and can be paired with various outfits. If your bracelet features delicate rubies, you can style yourself with chunkier jewelry for the ears or even a statement neckpiece to complement it. To add that extra oomph to your look, opt for a red lip color and keep the rest of your makeup minimal.
August
The peridot is a beautiful and lighthearted gemstone that sparks joy with its citrusy undertone. Why not team your peridot bracelet with personalized or charm bracelets that embrace your full personality? Peridots look especially good with outfits in pastel colors, small prints, and clean, straight lines—these highlight their bright sparkle. Wear a pair of drop earrings to add a touch of flair to the outfit, and consider a hairband or other hair accessories for a fun, vintage vibe.
September
Sapphires are the choice of royalty and celebrities worldwide, and for good reason. If you’re a September girl, team your sapphire bracelet with a sophisticated day dress or an evening gown, depending on the occasion. If it’s the former, opt for hoop earrings and loose waves to complete the ensemble. For a formal event, an updo and a statement diamond and sapphire necklace will make you the center of attention. Keep your makeup soft, in alluring blush hues.
October
October-born women can truly radiate femininity with a bracelet that features tourmaline, the stunning pink gemstone. Pair it with antique or vintage-inspired jewelry pieces and accessories, like an heirloom scarf or a rose gold necklace. Floral prints and nature motifs are great for outfits to pair with this bracelet, and if you’re open to experimentation, opt for a bohemian vibe with free-flowing maxi dresses. This charismatic gemstone bracelet can also be paired with other delicate and detail-oriented bracelets, like those with filigree or milgrain detailing, to create some old-world glamour.
November
Much like its name, the November birthstone citrine embodies warm tones that radiate a sublime aura. Although it’s bright, it blends seamlessly with the warm tones of yellow-gold and even skin, lending it a certain neutrality and versatility. A citrine bracelet looks stunning paired with a contrasting color outfit, such as rich purple or forest green. It would also look great with softer shades like powder blue, which are better suited for corporate wear. Make sure the rest of your jewelry is warm-toned as well, ideally in shades of yellow gold.
December
Blue topaz is just one of the four birthstones for December—the others being blue zircon, tanzanite, and turquoise. Either way, it’s cool blue all the way for those born in this winter month. This easy, laid-back bracelet adds a bit of nonchalant panache and goes best with a comfy pair of jeans and a simple shirt. For a dressier vibe, team it with a playful skater dress or a printed skirt. Keep your hair tied back in a messy bun, and dress up your eyes.
At Gabriel & Co., we ensure that jewelry goes beyond the tangible and creates a deeper sense of purpose. Pick up one of our birthstone bracelets and discover the difference for yourself.
