When it comes to celebrating a December birthday, few gifts feel more personal—or more radiant—than birthstone jewellery. December is one of the rare months blessed with two official birthstones, and both are stunning in their own right: turquoise and tanzanite.
At Otis Jaxon, our December Birthstone Collection brings these captivating stones to life in handcrafted sterling silver and gold vermeil pieces. But before you shop, let’s explore what makes these gemstones so special.
Turquoise: Ancient Protection & Timeless Colour
Turquoise has been prized for millennia—by Egyptian queens, Native American artisans, and boho fashionistas alike. With its distinctive robin’s-egg blue hue, turquoise symbolises protection, wisdom, and inner peace.
Whether worn as a drop earring, pendant, or dainty stud, turquoise jewellery channels calm confidence and connection to the natural world. It’s especially beloved by those drawn to spiritual grounding and earthy elegance.
Turquoise is perfect for:
✔️ Bohemian souls
✔️ Travel lovers
✔️ Anyone seeking inner harmony
Tanzanite: A Rare Spark of Spiritual Insight
Discovered only in the 20th century and sourced almost exclusively from Tanzania, tanzanite is as rare as it is mesmerising. With its deep blue-violet colour, this stone is linked to transformation, intuition, and elevated consciousness.
Often compared to sapphires, tanzanite carries a softer glow and an aura of mystery. It’s the ultimate birthstone for those who seek to stand out subtly, blending sophistication with spiritual depth.
Tanzanite is perfect for:
✔️ Elegant minimalists
✔️ December birthdays
✔️ Milestone gifts with meaning
