Zodiac and birthstone jewellery turns a birthday into something you can wear. A birthstone necklace carries the colour of your birth month, and a zodiac necklace carries your star sign. Both make a personal gift that is easy to get right.
At DANSK Copenhagen, our zodiac and birthstone necklaces are made from waterproof 316L stainless steel with 18K ION-plated gold, so they can be worn every day.
What is birthstone jewellery?
A birthstone is a stone linked to the month you were born. The tradition goes back centuries, and each stone carries its own colour and meaning.
Our birthstone necklaces carry a cubic zirconia in the colour of each month's stone. It gives the same personal detail with lasting sparkle, and works well alone or layered with everyday chains. Read more about cubic zirconia, or browse our birthstone necklaces.
What is zodiac jewellery?
Zodiac jewellery shows your star sign, based on your date of birth. Many people wear it as a quiet reminder of who they are, or give it to someone born under the same sign.
