Coloured stones are one of our weaknesses, so we were SO happy to hear that birthstone engagement rings are one of the top jewellery trends for 2019.
There is no denying it, particular gemstones have a special appeal and we are naturally drawn to them depending on their colour, meaning and je ne sais quoi.
Birthstone engagement rings add another element that make them perfect for brides and grooms who prefer a non-traditional engagement ring but want to showcase their personality through their engagement ring.
We feature birthstones every month on our Brinkhaus blog. Here is a summary of birthstones by month and a little bit about each of them:
