Birthstone Colors Used In Personalized Jewelry
I often find that people aren’t sure which birthstones match up with which months of the year, so I thought I’d share a little of that information.
The stones that I use in necklaces match up with the following birthstones…
Sentimental Silver Birthstone Color Chart
Sentimental Silver uses Austrian made cubic zirconias, lab created gemstones and simulated gemstones (they vary based on color) in our pieces. Our stones range in size from 2.5mm-3mm and are available in all birthstone colors. We do not use natural gemstones stones, as most natural stones cannot hold up to the heat of the kiln firing, many will either discolor, crack or even disintegrate from the heat.
I embed each stone by hand directly into the silver while it is in a soft clay like state (which is later hardened through firing at high heat in our kilns). When the pieces are kiln fired, the silver shrinks slightly, permanently holding the stones in place within the silver. I would never consider gluing a stone to a piece, as I have seen done by others.
I always tell customers that they are not limited to their specific birthstone color. Feel free to use what YOU like! I do many necklaces using light pink and light blue for girls and boys. There are no rules – your piece is a custom one of a kind creation, so make it exactly what you want it to be!
Please keep in mind that stone color may vary based on individual computer monitors.
