Shop December Birthstone Jewellery with Tanzanite or Turquoise
December has several recognised birthstones, with different lists and traditions varying over time. Our December birthstone jewellery features two beautiful choices: turquoise and tanzanite.
Turquoise is the more familiar and long-established December birthstone, while tanzanite is a newer addition to modern birthstone lists. Both make meaningful choices for a December birthday, but they have quite different colours, styles and price points.
Tanzanite or Turquoise: Which December Birthstone Should You Choose?
If you're choosing a December birthstone gift, we'd suggest thinking less about which stone is the "right" one and more about which the recipient is most likely to love and wear.
Turquoise is instantly recognisable for its distinctive blue to blue-green colour. It's the brighter and bolder of our two December birthstones and is generally the more affordable choice, making it a lovely option for an everyday birthday gift.
Tanzanite has a more subtle blue to violet colour and is generally a more expensive gemstone. It's a beautiful choice if you're looking for something a little less familiar or a more precious December birthday gift, particularly for someone who prefers softer colours to the brighter look of turquoise.
Birthstone traditions have evolved over time and different lists don't always agree, so there's no need to worry about choosing the only "correct" December gemstone. Both turquoise and tanzanite are recognised December birthstones, and choosing according to personal taste is usually the best approach.
