January
A deep-red beginning
Deep garnet, a little warm metal, and a clear accent. A rich starting point that works just as beautifully on its own.

February
A quieter shade
Let violet amethyst set the rhythm. Moonstone softens the palette; silver gives it a cooler edge.
Signs · Aquarius and PiscesAbout amethyst
March
Between sea and shore
Choose the pale blue of aquamarine or the forest green of bloodstone. Two very different ways to wear March.
Signs · Pisces and AriesAbout aquamarine
April
Light, held in a circle
Diamond is April's traditional stone. For our bead compositions, clear quartz and moonstone offer a separate, light-filled interpretation.

May
A green signature
Emerald brings a vivid green centre to the story. Give it room with clear accents or let the colour run through the whole circle.
Signs · Taurus and GeminiAbout emerald
June
A change of light
Pearl, moonstone and alexandrite make June a month of possibilities. Choose a lustrous bead palette; alexandrite remains a reference jewellery stone.

A note of red
Ruby can be the centre of a quiet composition or a repeating red rhythm. Warm metal gives the palette a particularly rich finish.

Into the blue
Begin with sapphire. A silver finish keeps the composition cool; warm gold brings a different kind of contrast.
