December Birthstone

Turquoise is associated with your throat chakra, which is linked to communication and feeling heard, both of which are linked to our self-worth. Turquoise is also connected to your emotional and mental well-being. As a healing stone it brings peace and serenity, like stepping into cool waters on a hot day. Like those waters, turquoise asks you to look below surfaces, to find out what is and isn’t working in your life, it encourages communication with your inner self as well as others. This is especially good for those born under Sagittarius’s bow and arrow. Sagittarians are full of energy and like to live a full life at breakneck pace. However, sometimes that energy can be too much, turquoise can help bring calmness, balancing out the maelstrom.

Turquoise can vary from powder-blue celeste through green-inflected aquamarine to darker shades. At Astley Clarke, our designs are made from responsibly sourced turquoise in a gorgeous aquamarine hue, which we like to pair with yellow gold vermeil. It’s like wearing an Aegean beach on your wrist.
