Celebrate December with Turquoise, Tanzanite, and Zircon
December is a month of celebration, warmth, and cherished moments, making its birthstones - Turquoise, Tanzanite, and Zircon - the perfect symbols of its unique charm. Each of these stunning gemstones boasts a rich history, vibrant colour, and meaningful symbolism that resonates with those lucky enough to be born in the final month of the year.
The Timeless Appeal of Turquoise
Turquoise is one of the world’s oldest gemstones, beloved for its serene blue and green hues. This stone has been cherished across cultures, from ancient Egypt to Native American traditions, where it was considered a symbol of protection, wisdom, and prosperity.
Perfect for those who love understated elegance, turquoise jewellery makes an ideal gift for December birthdays or anyone seeking a timeless piece. Its calming colours evoke tranquillity and are thought to bring good fortune and peace to the wearer.
Tanzanite: Rare and Remarkable
Discovered only in the 20th century, Tanzanite is a modern gemstone that has quickly gained a devoted following. Found exclusively in Tanzania, this stone’s striking blue-violet tones make it a standout choice for jewellery lovers.
Tanzanite is said to inspire intuition and self-expression, making it a meaningful gift for creative spirits. Its rarity and radiant beauty ensure that any piece featuring Tanzanite is as unique as the person who wears it.
The Radiance of Zircon
Zircon, often overshadowed by its counterparts, is a gemstone worth celebrating. Known for its brilliant sparkle and a wide array of colours, Zircon adds a touch of glamour to any piece of jewellery. Clear Zircon has often been compared to diamonds for its dazzling brilliance, while the blue variety is particularly associated with December.
Zircon symbolises wisdom, honour, and spiritual growth, making it a thoughtful gift for marking milestones and achievements.
How to Wear December Birthstones
December birthstones are versatile and pair beautifully with a variety of metals and designs. Whether set in rings, necklaces, bracelets, or earrings, these gemstones add a distinctive touch to any outfit. Turquoise complements bohemian and casual styles, while Tanzanite and Zircon are perfect for more formal occasions.

Caring for Your December Birthstone Jewellery
To keep your birthstone jewellery looking its best, proper care is essential. Turquoise, for example, is a softer gemstone and should be kept away from harsh chemicals and abrasive surfaces. Tanzanite and Zircon also benefit from gentle cleaning and storage in a soft pouch to avoid scratches.
Our team at Brinkhaus offers expert advice and professional cleaning services to ensure your jewellery remains as radiant as the day you received it.
