Birthstone themed accessories are a fabulous way to give a sense of identity to any wearer and make a perfect gift for birthdays or other special occasions. Birthstone colours are inspired by their natural mineral counterparts, and they are easily matched using shades from the Serinity Beads range. Each month has its own colour associated with it and the month of the wearers birth date determines their birthstone colour, combined with a silver charm for their first initial and you have the makings of a perfect birthday gift for anyone who appreciates sparkle.
