Start with Birthstones by Month Shop gemstone jewelleryIf you are buying a gift, start with the person. A name or an initial makes a personalised piece; a birth month points you to a birthstone. If you are buying for yourself and care most about how a piece will wear over the years, read the fine jewellery guide first, because the metal decides that more than anything else.
Every piece we make is solid gold and made to order in our London atelier, so it is built to be kept. The guides are here to help you choose the right one the first time.

Solid gold is gold all the way through, so it does not wear off or tarnish. Gold-plated is a thin layer of gold over a base metal, which fades with wear. We explain what that means for a piece you wear daily in our solid gold vs gold-plated guide.
It depends on the balance you want between durability, colour and price. 9ct is the hardest and most affordable, and 18ct is the richest in colour and purity. Our gold guide walks through how to decide.
