The success of personalized jewelry is not new and yet it has experienced a real boom in recent months. The must of the moment: make it unique with the insertion of a birthstone.

It is not only during a birth that one can be interested in jewelry with birthstones. Whether as a gift for a young mother, a loved one or just for yourself without a special occasion, jewelry with stones is more popular than ever. More and more brands are offering it. Sometimes it is even possible to compose them yourself. The principle: associate your birthstone with a jewel, which makes it particularly symbolic and personal. Each month of the year is associated with a stone and therefore also with certain characteristics or powers according to your beliefs, a little like the astrological signs. And it's not limited to that, they also have many benefits, which makes them a real object of value in addition to being sentimental.

Everything is possible, some birthstones also correspond to a wedding anniversary. This is, for example, the case of the Sapphire, associated with the month of September but also with the fifth wedding anniversary. As you will have understood, each jewel with a stone will have a particular meaning for the person who owns it. It is the perfect personalized gift.

Where to customize jewelry with birthstones?

Trend: personalized jewelry with stones

For young mothers, Laurence Vandenborre, Belgian jewelry designer, has just released her new capsule collection "A gem is born". The principle is to associate the birthstone of a newborn with a jewel to celebrate his coming into the world. But this is not the only possibility. Several different stones can also be gathered on a single ring, for example to represent each member of his family. The combinations are endless. Merci Maman is also a brand specializing in personalized jewelry and offers several necklaces or bracelets with birthstones. The stones can also be purchased individually.

And if the specially designed collections with birthstones are not for you, other shops work all kinds of stones, you just have to find the one that suits you. Several Belgian designers are worth a look. Enora Antoine does not offer a special birthstone collection, but in the jewelry and engagement rings she creates, you can find pink and blue sapphires, pearls, rubies,... It's worth checking to see if your birthstone is found in some creations. The Brussels craftswoman even offers a tailor-made creation service. All you have to do is make an appointment to discuss the type of jewelry and type of stone you want. The quality of the stones is guaranteed in this workshop: Enora Antoine works with diamond dealers and gemologists from Antwerp and Brussels to select the best ones.

Karolin Van Loon works exclusively with agate geodes, which she combines with diamonds and pearls to create her jewelry. We are moving away from birthstones, but agate alone offers a multitude of shapes and colors, and here too, each color corresponds to very specific characteristics.

All these collections are dreamy, but the stones are generally expensive. To afford them while remaining within a reasonable budget, the Brussels workshop Tiroir de Lou offers silver or gold-plated bracelets with fine stones for 60€ at most. Not all stones are available, but a choice is still possible between Blue Topaz, Citrine and Moonstone.
