Birth Flower Jewelry: Meanings per Month & Personalization Guide

What is birth flower jewelry?

Birth flower jewelry features the flower that symbolizes a specific birth month. Just like birthstones, each month has its own flower with a specific meaning, such as love, strength, growth, or protection.

The birth flower is usually engraved as a fine line drawing on a coin, bar, or heart-shaped pendant. You can choose a single flower (for example, of your child) or create a bouquet with multiple birth flowers to represent a family.

Birth flowers per month:

January: Snowdrop
February: Violet
March: Daffodil
April: Daisy
May: Lily of the Valley
June: Rose
July: Larkspur
August: Gladiolus
September: Aster
October: Marigold
November: Chrysanthemum
December: Holly or Christmas Rose

How does the personalization of birth flower jewelry work?

With these pieces, it’s all about the right month and the composition of the flowers on the pendant. Follow these steps to design your own unique piece of jewelry:

Step 1: Choose the jewelry type

Choose from a necklace with a birth flower coin, a bracelet, a ring, or subtle earrings.

Step 2: Choose the birth month(s)

Select the month of yourself, your child(ren), or another loved one. With multiple children, you can have a "bouquet" engraved: several flowers combined on a single pendant.

Step 3: Choose the shape and size

Choose round (coin), oval, a heart, or a vertical bar. Larger pendants offer space for a full bouquet, while small coins are perfect for a single subtle flower.

Step 4: Choose the material

Depending on your preference, you can choose from 925 silver, 18k gold plated, rose gold, or solid gold (9k/14k).

Step 5: Extra personalization

Make the jewelry even more personal by adding a name, initials, or a date below or around the flower. You can also combine it with a small birthstone charm for extra color.

Step 6: Production and delivery time

Please allow for a production time of 1–2 business days for handmade, engraved jewelry. Within the Netherlands, shipping usually takes an additional 1–2 business days.

For whom is a birth flower jewelry piece a beautiful gift?

For mothers and grandmothers: A bouquet with the birth flowers of all (grand)children is a wonderful Mother's Day or birthday gift.
For nature lovers: Birth flowers are subtle and poetic; ideal for those who love botanical symbolism.
For minimalists: From a distance, the jewelry looks like an elegant illustration; the personal meaning is intimate and discreet.
As a maternity gift: The baby’s birth flower is a lasting and stylish memory of the birth.

Birth flower vs. name engraving: what fits you?

Choose a birth flower if:

You are looking for a subtle, symbolic personalization.
You love botanical and artistic designs.
You prefer a piece of jewelry whose meaning is not immediately visible to everyone.

Choose a name engraving if:

You want the name to be the centerpiece of the design.
You are looking for a classic and instantly recognizable family piece.
You want to wear multiple names clearly legible on one item.

Tip: Many customers combine both. The birth flower serves as the main illustration with the name subtly small underneath. This keeps the design clean, yet very personal. View our entire birth flower collection here!
