Blog - Happy New Year! V&V Birthmonth Week

Young, old, classy or cool, there is one thing we all have in common: everyone has a birthstone and flower! Choose the stone or flower that symbolizes your birth month and combine it with that of your sister, loved one or baby for a personal touch and always carry them close to you. Below we are happy to explain to you which birthstones and flowers can be used for this purpose and what they stand for.

The Birthflower and Birthstone Collection features twelve different meaningful flowers and gemstones. Each flower or gemstone on the pendant symbolizes a different month. Carry your personal story and choose the flowers and/or birthstones that are important to you.

January
Were you born in January? Then your birthstone is garnet. This red-colored gemstone represents love, friendship and purity. Garnet can offer direction clues in the dark, making it ideal for frequent travelers. The snowdrop of the Birthflower Bloom Necklace, Bracelet and Studs, which are also available as a set, symbolizes the month of January. The snowdrop used to bring bad luck because it always seemed to grow in graveyards. Today, this delicate little flower, often one of the first to pierce through the snow at the end of winter, represents hope, purity and sympathy.

February
If you were born in February, the Amethyst symbolizes your month. Amethyst represents sincerity, peace and spirituality. Wearing this birthstone in the month of February can strengthen relationships and give courage when needed.

With the Birthflower Collection, the violin symbolizes the month of February. This purple-colored flower symbolizes modesty, faithfulness and virtue. In the Victorian era, a gift of violets was a declaration to always be faithful, and it is still a wonderful reminder of loyalty, thoughtfulness and dependability.

March
The Topaz gemstone symbolizes the month of March. It can be used to promote a life of happiness. It is a symbol of peace and relaxation, making it the ideal stone to relieve and prevent headaches. For a statement piece of jewelry in conjunction with your birth month, the Tennis Single Birthstone Necklace, Bracelet or Set is a perfect purchase.

For flower lovers, the daffodil flower represents the first month of spring and thus the month of March. These little buds of sunshine symbolize unmatched love and serve as a reminder that the sun always shines when there are loved ones in your life.

April
Diamonds are a well-known gemstone that symbolizes the month of April. This gemstone symbolizes eternal love, beauty, and strength. Its wearers are taught to carry great courage, making it possible to overcome adversity. If you like subtle jewelry, then the Birthstone Necklace is for you. It is available in 9K and 14K solid yellow, white, and rose gold and handmade in our Vedder & Vedder atelier. The necklace is fully customizable with one to five birthstones. So you can wear all your precious memories on a necklace with room and possibility for expansion.

If you were born in April, then you are a daisy. This flower symbolizes purity, true love, and innocence. In Old English, daisies were called the "eye of the day" because they closed around the yellow heart at night and opened again during the day. Daisies are great flowers to show your everlasting love.

May
The emerald symbolizes the month of May. This gemstone has always been associated with eternal youth, spring and love. Emerald is the oldest and probably most famous gemstone. Today, emerald represents wisdom, growth and patience.

A lily of the valley flower represents the month of May, symbolizing purity, sweetness and humility. Its name means "return to happiness" and represents all the little things in life that bring us joy. Unlike a traditional bouquet that wilts after a few days, the Family Birthflower Bouquet Coin Necklace is a bouquet you can look at forever. Personalize all your loved ones' birthflowers on a coin and always carry them close to your heart.

June
The Black Spinel is also called the "gemstone of immortality" because it is renewing and rejuvenating. The gemstone gives the wearer mental and physical strength, perseverance and courage.

Say June, you say rose. As summer begins, there is no better flower than the rose, symbolizing the beauty and sweetness of the new season. The rose is a symbol of devotion and love, and the different colors of roses have their own meaning, from passionate love (red) to friendship (yellow). With the Flora Flower Birthstone Necklace, combine the birth months of your most loved ones on one necklace. The necklace is also available as a set together with the Flora Flower Birthstone Studs.

July
The Ruby gemstone gives strength and nobility and helps protect the wearer from evil in the world. It represents love and passion and attracts good friends and good luck.

The Water Lilies symbolize purity or rebirth. From May to early September, you can see water lilies floating on top of the water. Each flower only stays underwater for about four days, which makes these flowers even more unique and beautiful. With the Birthflower Bloom Bracelet, wear your water lily on your wrist every day. This bracelet is available in 925 sterling silver and gold-plated silver.

August
The Peridote gemstone represents self-reflection and has a healing and relaxing effect on the wearer. This gemstone is also called "gemstone of the sun" because it reflects light in an amazing way. Shine with the Birthstone Ring and choose the birthstone that matches your own birth month or that of a loved one. If you can't choose, go for the Birthstone Cluster Ring. Here you can personalize up to and including three birthstones on one ring.

The poppy is known for its bright red color and symbolizes the month of August. These flowers represent celebrating your dreams and all the hopes and desires you hope to become, achieve and create in your life.

September
The Blue Sapphire represents wisdom, loyal love and strength. The powers associated with this gemstone are used to protect evil that endangers the body and mind. Complete your earparty with the Birthstone Earrings, available in 925 sterling silver and gold-plated silver. The earrings are set with colored zirconia stones that symbolize your personal birthstone, or that of a loved one.

The day flowers represent the month of September. These flowers bloom in the morning and die by noon or nightfall, making it representative of the sometimes fleeting nature of love and affection. Carry your day flower with you every day with the Birthflower Bloom Studs.

October
The Pink Tourmaline strengthens relationships, creates loyalty and maintains friendships. This gemstone can also bring loyalty and trust to its wearer. Personalize the Pavé Birthstone Coin Necklace with a name or text and choose your own or a loved one's birthstone.

Marigolds symbolize the month of September and represent fiery love, passion and creativity. In addition to their beauty, marigolds are often used to remember lost loved ones.

November
Citrine, November's gemstone, is associated with strength and healing for both body and mind. It can offer good mental health as it clears the mind and spurs the soul to action. With the Bella Birthstone Studs, carry your birth month with you always.

Chrysanthemum flowers have the sweetest nickname "Mama" and are the newest bloomers of the year. They bring us the message that even the beginning of a cold, harsh winter can have joy and beauty.

December
Were you born in December? Then your birthstone is tanzanite. Tanzanite represents spirituality, truth, and deep wisdom. Tanzanite is a unique gift from nature because its color depends on your perspective. The flower that represents December is the Poinsettia. It used to symbolize purity but is now a symbol of celebration and success. Wear the Poinsettia close to you with the Birthflower Bloom Bracelet.
