This comprehensive guide explores the essence of each December birthstone, highlighting their historical contexts, physical properties, and the exclusive collections at Mark’s Diamonds.
Tanzanite: The Violet Jewel of East Africa
Exclusively mined in Tanzania’s lush landscapes, tanzanite captivates with its deep blue and violet hues. Known for its rarity, this gemstone is a prized find for enthusiasts.

Our collection ranges from classic to contemporary designs, offering jewelry lovers a touch of African mystery and a story as intriguing as the stone itself.

Zircon: A Spectrum of Radiant Colors
Often overshadowed by its synthetic counterpart cubic zirconia, natural zircon is a gemstone deserving of recognition for its natural beauty and spectral fire. Zircon is one of the oldest minerals on earth and is found in a variety of colors, including clear, green, blue, and red. At Mark’s Diamonds, our zircon selection emphasizes the stone’s exceptional luster and refractive index through meticulously designed pieces that reflect its historical significance and enduring charm.
Turquoise: Echoes of Ancient Beauty
Turquoise has been cherished for millennia, adorned by ancient kings and pharaohs and revered across civilizations from the Aztecs to the Persians. Its distinctive blue-green hue and veined patterns make it an iconic element in tribal and contemporary jewelry alike. Our turquoise offerings at Mark’s Diamonds incorporate this ancient gem in modern settings, ensuring each piece resonates with the stone’s storied past while fitting perfectly into today’s fashion landscape.
Styling Tips for December Birthstones
Each December birthstone brings with it a unique flair and versatility in styling. Tanzanite’s rich blues beautifully complement cooler color palettes. It is making it perfect for winter wardrobes, while zircon’s sparkle is great with evening wear to enhance its fiery brilliance.

During the season of giving, a piece of jewelry embedded with a birthstone is a meaningful gift that carries a personal touch. Whether choosing a simple tanzanite stud, an intricate zircon necklace, or a bold turquoise ring, these gifts are not only beautiful but also immensely symbolic. They reflect not only a consideration of the recipient’s tastes but also an appreciation for their individuality and the special connection you share.
Care and Maintenance for Lasting Beauty
Maintaining the luster and condition of gemstone jewelry is crucial, especially for pieces meant to last a lifetime. Each gemstone requires specific care.
