Featured December Jewelry Designs

Our December birthstone collection showcases turquoise, tanzanite, and blue topaz in wedding bands, engagement rings, and fashion pieces that go beyond the ordinary. Turquoise brings earthy matrix patterns and robin's-egg hues, while tanzanite offers violet-blue depth with exceptional clarity, and blue topaz provides brilliant sky-to-Swiss blue tones with remarkable durability. You'll also find turquoise necklaces that make a statement, delicate tanzanite earrings perfect for daily wear, and blue topaz rings for your wedding’s “something blue”.

Each piece highlights the rare colors and natural textures of these stones. Modern silhouettes meet timeless craftsmanship in designs that feel elegant without being overly traditional. Because every turquoise specimen has unique veining, every tanzanite crystal catches light differently, and each blue topaz displays its own intensity of color, no two pieces are exactly alike.

Celebrate someone special with a handcrafted birthstone ring, bracelet, or pendant. Personalize your selection with engraving, choose rose gold for warmth or platinum for lasting shine, or collaborate on a custom turquoise, tanzanite, or blue topaz gift that perfectly captures their personality. December babies deserve jewelry as distinctive as they are!

Custom December Jewelry Design

Dreaming of something unique? Design consultants can help you create a custom December birthstone pendant, wedding band, or ring featuring turquoise, tanzanite, blue topaz, or a combination of all three stones together. Start by selecting your preferred metal: yellow gold brings out turquoise's green undertones, while white gold makes tanzanite's purple flash, and blue topaz's icy brilliance more dramatic. Decide on inlay styles, channel settings, or bezel mountings that protect these gems.

Choose your materials, style, and finish for a design that's entirely yours. Combine December birthstones with meteorite, dinosaur bone, or whiskey barrel wood for an unexpected twist. Send in a piece of a sentimental tree branch for us to make a turquoise and wood wedding band out of. Send us sand from your beach trip for us to put in a blue topaz engagement ring. The possibilities stretch as far as your imagination; start your custom design today!

How to Style December Birthstones

Turquoise jewelry pairs beautifully with white gold, silver, or platinum for a crisp, modern aesthetic that feels fresh and contemporary. The cool metal tones enhance turquoise's natural blue-green color without competing for attention. On the other hand, tanzanite jewelry combined with yellow gold creates rich contrast that makes the purple depths of the stone even more striking. Blue topaz shines in platinum settings, where the bright metal amplifies its electric blue sparkle.

Layer your December birthstone jewelry with neutral clothing or winter tones to make those vivid blue hues pop. Charcoal grays, cream sweaters, and deep navy all provide the perfect backdrop. These stones complement both casual weekend outfits and formal evening wear beautifully, adapting to your lifestyle rather than demanding you dress around them.

Don't be afraid to mix metals or stack rings. A turquoise band next to a plain gold wedding ring creates visual interest. Tanzanite earrings can dress up a simple black dress or add sparkle to jeans and a blazer. Blue topaz pendants layer well with other necklaces for an effortless look.

Caring for Your Birthstone Jewelry

Turquoise, tanzanite, and blue topaz each require gentle handling, though blue topaz offers greater durability with its harder composition. Turquoise ranks softest at 5-6 on the Mohs scale and can scratch more easily than the others, while tanzanite at 6.5-7 requires careful treatment to avoid chips, and blue topaz, rating 8 on the hardness scale, stands up better to everyday wear but still deserves thoughtful care. Clean your pieces with a soft, dry cloth only, wiping away oils and debris after each wear. This simple habit keeps them looking their best without risking damage.

Avoid ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage turquoise's porous surface, cloud tanzanite's clarity, or affect blue topaz's treatment. Even common household cleaners, perfumes, and lotions can dull these stones over time. Put your jewelry on last when getting ready and remove it first when you get home.

Store pieces separately to prevent scratches from harder gemstones or metals rubbing against them. Individual soft pouches work perfectly for rings and earrings. Consider removing your December birthstone ring before activities like gardening, weight training, or washing dishes.

With proper care, your December birthstone jewelry will maintain its brilliance for decades. These stones can become family heirlooms when treated with respect and attention.
