December Birthstones
Turquoise & blue topaz – jewellery ideas
People born in December are among the lucky ones, because they have not just one but two birthstones to choose from. So if you are looking for a piece of jewellery as a birthday gift, you can choose between the icy clarity of blue topaz and the vibrant, earthy charm of turquoise.
At Zen Diamond we interpret these traditional gemstones with our unmistakable touch of luxury. Whether it is a cocktail ring framed by sparkling diamonds or striking statement earrings, our collection shows that birthstone jewellery can be every bit as elegant as diamonds.
Blue topaz – the ice queen of winter
Blue topaz is the modern December birthstone and reflects the season perfectly. You immediately think of a clear winter sky or a frozen lake reflecting the sunlight – and that is exactly the feeling blue topaz jewellery conveys.
It is known for its exceptional clarity and brilliance and is regarded as the stone of peace and communication. In our collection it is emphasised even further by white diamonds. The contrast between the cool blue of the gemstone and the fire of sparkling diamonds creates a radiant "ice queen look", ideal for festive winter occasions.
The Zen Diamond look: Our blue topaz rings are often designed in oval or cushion cuts and set in white gold. This monochrome effect intensifies the stone's natural sparkle – perfect for women who love a modern, elegant style.
Turquoise – the luminous protective stone
Turquoise is one of the oldest known gemstones and has been revered for thousands of years as a talisman of protection and good fortune. It is the traditional December birthstone and is known for its opaque, robin's-egg blue tone.
Often associated with boho aesthetics, we have taken turquoise to a new, luxurious level. Set in warm 14-carat rose or yellow gold and finished with sparkling diamonds, the result is a vintage look with modern elegance.
The Zen Diamond look: A turquoise ring from our collection is always a statement piece. The intense blue really comes into its own against the skin, while diamond details add a touch of glamorous evening sparkle. A true "power ring" for the new year.
Which stone suits her?
In the end, style decides:
Blue topaz suits her if she loves shine, light and glamour. Perfect for anyone who likes to wear cool colours such as black, silver or navy.
Turquoise is ideal for women who appreciate colour, expression and history – for those who like to wear pieces that stand out and tell a story.
How to style December birthstone jewellery
Birthstone jewellery is not only symbolically valuable, it can also be an elegant highlight in any look. Blue topaz harmonises beautifully with cool shades such as silver, white, ice blue and black, giving an outfit a clear, wintry sparkle. In combination with minimalist styles in particular, this gemstone looks modern, fresh and timeless.
Turquoise, by contrast, has the strongest effect in contrast. Warm gold tones, cream, brown or even deep burgundy make its vivid blue shine intensely. Often a single statement piece – a ring or a pendant – is enough to define the entire look and give it personality.
Whether delicate, glamorous or bold – with the right combination, a December birthstone quickly becomes a signature piece that elevates your style and can be worn all year round.
The perfect gift for her
Whether you choose the crystal-clear brilliance of topaz or the historical depth of turquoise – it is a personal and meaningful gift.
