The Meaning of Birthstone Jewellery

There’s something timeless and personal about birthstone jewellery. For centuries, people have believed that gemstones linked to your birth month carry special meanings, bringing luck, protection, and individuality. At Illuka Blue, we love creating birthstone pieces that are not only beautiful but also deeply personal – making them the perfect gift for yourself or someone special.

A Little History of Birthstones

The tradition of birthstones dates back thousands of years. Ancient civilisations, including the Egyptians and Romans, believed gemstones carried protective powers. Over time, each month of the year was assigned a specific stone, each with its own unique symbolism and beauty.

Today, birthstone jewellery remains one of the most meaningful ways to celebrate life’s moments.
