It’s the last month of 2018, and no, we can’t believe it, either. With so many holidays to celebrate, it’s easy for this month to fly by.

But for those who have December birthdays, the year’s twelfth month is not only a time to celebrate the date of their birth, but to also don their special birthstone — tanzanite!

While yes, December babies get their pick of three birthstone options (tanzanite, zircon, and turquoise — all blue-hued gems) it’s no secret that if we at Safi Kilima Tanzanite had our pick, we’d go with tanzanite all the way. In spite of its more recent discovery, this stone’s vibrant color and eternal beauty make it popular among jewelry buyers today. And of course, tanzanite’s rarity and restricted availability encourage this stone to be passed down to younger generations as a precious family inheritance.

So keeping longevity in mind, here are three classic pieces from our collection that not only will give you a reason to celebrate your (or someone you love’s) birthday, but will remain a permanent piece in your family’s jewelry for generations to come.
