Amanda’s Style File: December Blues
Jewelers of America’s Amanda Gizzi spotlights her favorite turquoise, tanzanite, and zircon December birthstone jewelry.
Yessayan turquoise and diamond earrings set in 18-karat white gold ($2,800)
The winter blues aren’t necessarily a bad thing when it comes to December’s three blue birthstones.
In stark contradiction to the wintry weather that much of the United States experiences in December, the month’s birthstones demonstrate that the color blue can appear bright and sunny.
Perhaps turquoise, tanzanite (which can skew purple in addition to blue), and zircon reflect the cheery optimism that the holiday season can bring.
If December has your spirits feeling less than bright, however, then scroll through the 16 pieces in this Style File to get inspired and rejuvenated. If you want your spirits lifted even higher, get your hands on these gorgeous pieces in person.
