December Birthstone Necklaces
December birthstone necklaces feature three distinct gems: blue topaz, turquoise, and tanzanite. Each carries its own character and color range. Blue topaz rates 8 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it suitable for daily wear. Turquoise, a softer stone at 5-6 Mohs, has been mined in the American Southwest and Persia for centuries. Tanzanite comes from a single source near Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Our collection of 431 necklaces pairs these December stones with .925 sterling silver settings, priced from $479 to $38,569.

Blue Topaz, Turquoise & Tanzanite Silver Pendants
December stands apart as one of three months with multiple birthstone options. Blue topaz offers clarity and durability, its cool tones ranging from pale sky blue to deep Swiss and London blue varieties. The stone forms in igneous rocks and pegmatites, with major deposits in Brazil, Sri Lanka, and Nigeria. Turquoise provides an opaque alternative with its characteristic blue-green matrix patterns. This copper-based mineral has served as a protective stone in Navajo and Tibetan traditions for generations. Tanzanite, added to the December birthstone list in 2002 by the American Gem Trade Association, displays a violet-blue pleochroism that shifts color depending on viewing angle. It rates 6-7 on the Mohs scale and requires more careful handling than topaz. Our sterling silver settings use .925 purity, alloyed with copper for strength while maintaining the bright white finish that complements these blue-spectrum stones. SilverRush Style has shipped natural stone jewelry from our US warehouse since 2005. Every necklace ships free within the United States.
