Handmade Birthstone Gemstone Jewelry for Women that Make Thoughtful Gifts

As I was browsing Etsy getting some ideas for my Christmas shopping I came across a pair of stunning citrine earrings. It got me thinking about how crystals and gemstones are becoming more and more popular for wellness purposes, and so I dug a little deeper and found the most stunning pieces of handmade birthstone gemstone jewelry for women that I knew I had to put a collection together for you.

These pieces make perfect gifts for any occasion. I have picked out bracelets, bangles, necklaces and rings at a range of prices so there is something here for every budget.

You could give a piece of jewellery as a birthday or Christmas gift. They also make wonderful bridesmaid gifts. Oh and of course a handcrafted engagement ring bearing your girlfriend’s birthstone will result in a pretty much guaranteed yes!

If you don’t know which birthstone you need check out this handy list of which gemstones equate to which month:

January Birthstone: Garnet
February Birthstone: Amethyst
March Birthstone: Aquamarine
April Birthstone: Diamond
May Birthstone: Emerald
June Birthstone: Pearl, Moonstone or Alexandrite
July Birthstone: Ruby
August Birthstone: Peridot
September Birthstone: Sapphire
October Birthstone: Tourmaline or Opal
November Birthstone: Topaz or Citrine
December Birthstone: Tanzanite, Zircon or Turquoise

I’ve broken this collection down into three parts.

First are the jewelery pieces where you can pick out the design you like and then choose the right birthstone. These pieces are perfect for bridesmaid gifts as they can all be matching but personalized.

Next are the family birthstone pieces that make thoughtful gifts for your mom or grandma because you can add multiple birthstones and add some personalization in the form of a name or initial.

The final section contains handcrafted jewellery pieces that are specific to a gemstone so the section is further broken down by month. This is where you will find the engagement rings.

Feel free to scroll through and drool over all of the pieces, or if you know which section you need you can use the links below to jump.
