What are July's Other Birthstones?
As well as ruby, July babies can layer up with carnelian and onyx for a powerful punch. We spoke about our love for orange jewellery here – tap into this trend with a carnelian gemstone as your alternative birthstone for July. It’s a translucent reddish-brown variety of chalcedony, ranging from pale orange to deep red, that’s believed to promote courage, confidence, and creativity. Moreover, it acts as the ultimate motivator. Where can we sign up?
Black onyx is another gem associated with July. This protection stone is believed to provide strength, and grounding. If you’re in need of some self-control (hello, us wanting new jewellery always) then this might just be your ticket.
