If you are lucky enough to be born in December, you have got not one, but three dazzling birthstones to choose from! The birthstone for the month of December includes Turquoise, Tanzanite and Blue Topaz; each as striking and cool as the winter skies they represent.
Here at Flutterby Jewellery, we often get asked, “What makes December’s birthstones so special? How should I style them for different occasions? So, we have put together this sparkling guide to help you uncover their meaning, choose your perfect piece and wear them beautifully.
What is the December Birthstone?
December is one of the rare months with multiple birthstones and that means triple the beauty and options!
Each gem, Turquoise, Tanzanite and Blue Topaz; shines in a unique shade of blue. From the milky green-blue of Turquoise to the deep violet-blue of Tanzanite and the icy sparkle of Blue Topaz, each gem is a rare beauty.
We find that many of our customers love the versatility of these stones. Whether you prefer something vintage inspired or contemporary and bold, December’s gems offer timeless style for every taste.
The Meaning and History Behind Each December Birthstone
Turquoise
One of the oldest known gemstones, Turquoise has adorned jewellery for thousands of years. It is cherished for its opaque, dreamy blue-green hue and its reputation as a stone of protection and peace.
Here at Flutterby, we love using Turquoise in drop earrings and pendant necklaces because it pairs beautifully with both gold and silver tones. It is also said to bring good fortune; the perfect charm for new beginnings and festive celebrations!
Tanzanite
Discovered in Tanzania in the 1960s, Tanzanite is a modern gem with a magical twist. Its colour dances between deep blue and violet depending on how the light hits it.
Tanzanite symbolises transformation and wisdom; ideal for those entering new chapters in life. We find that Tanzanite earrings add instant elegance to any outfit, whether it is a cosy jumper day or a glamorous winter evening.
Blue Topaz
Radiant, brilliant and cool as ice - Blue Topaz is the showstopper of the season. It is known as the stone of love and clarity; making it a beautiful choice for relationships and self-expressiopairs wonderfully with minimalist designs and crisp winter palettes. It is also incredibly versatile; think office wear by day and festive sparkle by night.
How to Style December Birthstones?
When it comes to styling, the Birthstone for December offers endless possibilities.
Our customers often ask us about matching their birthstone jewellery to their face shape, so here is a quick guide-
1. If you have an oblong face, the best earrings for oblong face shape are shorter styles that add width. Turquoise or Blue Topaz drops work beautifully here!
2. For those with a round face, the best earring shape for round face is long and slender. Try elegant linear drop earrings with Tanzanite to elongate your features and add a hint of sophistication.
December Birthstones as Gifts
Here at Flutterby, we offer personalised designs, so you can add that meaningful touch. Whether it is an engraved initial, a unique gemstone combination or a custom metal choice; you have it all.
Our customers love gifting Turquoise enamel necklace for good luck, Blue Topaz earrings for anniversaries and Tanzanite rings for milestone birthdays. With December’s gems symbolising peace, transformation and love; it is hard to go wrong!
Caring for Your December Birthstone Jewellery
Each December gemstone is precious and deserves a little TLC.
1. Turquoise- Keep it away from perfumes and lotions as it is porous and can absorb chemicals.
2. Tanzanite- Avoid sudden temperature changes and store it in a soft pouch.
3. Blue Topaz- Clean gently with mild soap and water to maintain its sparkle.
We always recommend storing your jewellery separately to prevent scratching. Also, bringing it in for a professional polish every so often to keep that Flutterby glow alive!

December’s birthstones capture everything we love about winter - clarity, transformation and a touch of magic.
Here at Flutterby Jewellery, we believe jewellery should tell your story and these gemstones make that story shimmer. Go ahead and celebrate December with a sparkling piece that feels as unique as the person wearing it.
