What is the December birthstone?
December has three birthstones: turquoise, blue topaz, and tanzanite. Each is celebrated for its unique color and symbolism. At Little Sky Stone, our collection focuses on turquoise and blue topaz jewelry. Turquoise has a calming blue-green tone, while blue topaz sparkles with icy brilliance. Cherished across cultures and centuries for their protective and healing properties, these birthstones make December birthstone jewelry both meaningful and visually captivating. Each piece is often set in sterling silver or white gold to enhance their cool, serene hues.
What makes (December) birthstone jewelry unique?
December birthstone jewelry stands out because it blends the earthy appeal of turquoise jewelry with the luminous clarity of blue topaz. Turquoise is thought to promote tranquility and protection, while blue topaz (available in sky blue, London blue topaz, and other shades) symbolizes communication and emotional balance. Both are durable stones, ranking high on the Mohs scale, and look stunning when crafted in sterling silver. These gemstones have been admired in many cultures, giving every piece of birthstone jewelry deep historical meaning.

Ideal for December birthday celebrations, our designs also make beautiful keepsakes from our Christmas jewelry sale or for other special occasions. Choose between the rich tones of turquoise or the sparkle of blue topaz, and pair with sterling silver, white gold, or rose gold to suit any style — a gift to be cherished for a lifetime. Many designs are available with quick ship options for easy, last-minute gifting.
How should I care for my December birthstone jewelry?
To preserve the shine of your December birthstone jewelry, clean gently using mild soapy water and a soft cloth. It's important to avoid wearing your turquoise or blue topaz jewelry during activities that expose it to heat, harsh chemicals, or direct sunlight. Store your birthstone jewelry in a jewelry box or cool, dry space, ideally separated from other silver or metal pieces. With proper care, your sterling silver pieces will maintain their luster for years.
How can I style (December) birthstone jewelry?
Both turquoise and blue topaz are versatile stones perfect for any occasion. The soothing blue-green of turquoise pairs effortlessly with casual wear, while blue topaz enhances sophisticated looks. December birthstone jewelry set in sterling silver adds a modern, refined edge to your style. Whether worn daily or on special occasions, in necklaces, earrings, or bracelets, these gemstones make a stunning statement and carry the timeless symbolism cherished across many cultures.
Why does December have more than one birthstone?
December has multiple birthstones (turquoise and blue topaz) because birthstone lists have evolved over centuries, with different cultures and gemological associations recognizing different stones for the same month. Having two options simply gives you more ways to celebrate a December birthday, whether you prefer the earthy blue-green of turquoise or the icy sparkle of blue topaz.
Do December birthstones jewelry scratch easily?
Turquoise has a Mohs hardness of 5–6, making it one of the softer December birthstones. It can scratch if it knocks against harder surfaces. Blue topaz is more durable at Mohs 8, but it can chip along certain angles if hit hard. For both stones, store your December birthstone jewelry separately and avoid wearing it during high-impact activities.
How to wear December birthstones jewelry?
Both turquoise and blue topaz pair beautifully with sterling silver and gold settings. The cool blue tones complement casual and elevated looks alike. Layer a turquoise necklace with other birthstone necklaces for a relaxed vibe, or let a blue topaz necklace shine solo for a more polished look. Birthstone earrings and charms are also great for mixing and matching across outfits.
Are your December birthstones jewelry natural or lab-created?
Our December birthstone jewelry features real, natural turquoise and blue topaz gemstones, not lab-created. Each stone is carefully set in sterling silver or 14k gold-plated settings to highlight its natural color and character.
