Jewellery Gifts for February Birthdays
February is the month that bridges the end of winter and the beginning of spring. Though it’s the shortest month of the year, it offers plenty of opportunities to celebrate those born during this time, including leap year birthdays. So why not treat them to jewellery that reflects their unique qualities and makes their birthday extra special.
February Zodiac Signs: Aquarius and Pisces
Depending on when in the month they were born, February is influenced by two zodiac signs: Aquarius (20 January – 18 February) and Pisces (19 February – 20 March).
Aquarians, who are represented by the Water Bearer, are known for their creativity and independent spirit. Their ruling planet, Uranus, inspires originality and forward thinking, making them natural visionaries.
Pisceans, represented by Two Fish, are deeply empathetic and artistic individuals. Ruled by Neptune, the planet of dreams, their intuition, imagination and spiritual nature make them emotionally connected and creatively gifted.
These traits can inspire meaningful zodiac themed gifts that reflect the qualities of those born in February.
February’s Birthstone: Amethyst
With its rich purple hues, ranging from soft lavender to deep violet, amethyst is the birthstone of February. Its name comes from the Greek word amethystos meaning “not intoxicating”, as the stone was believed to promote clear thinking, peace and spiritual growth. They are regarded as a stone of protection and thought to bring its wearer a sense of calmness.
For those born in February, amethyst’s soothing energy complements their creative, empathetic nature. Its association with peace and tranquillity makes it a thoughtful gift, reflecting how responsive February born individuals are to other people’s emotions.
Other Symbols for February Birthdays
In addition to their zodiac sign and birthstone, February birthdays are represented by other symbols including a birth flower, an animal, and three lucky colours. Incorporating these into jewellery is a meaningful way to celebrate the special traits of those born in February.
February’s birth flower, the violet, symbolises loyalty, affection and faithfulness. Blooming in early spring, and associated with the Goddess Aphrodite, violets reflect the inner beauty and gentle spirit of those born in February.
The animal symbol for February is the dolphin. Known for their intelligence and social nature, these animals represent joy and harmony. Those born in February often share these empathetic traits, making dolphin-themed jewellery a fitting gift.
February’s lucky colours – purple, turquoise and white – each carry special meanings. Purple, the colour of amethyst, represents peace, wisdom and creativity. Turquoise symbolises healing and protection, aligning with the spiritual nature of those born in February. White symbolises new beginnings, mirroring the renewal that February brings as we transition from winter into spring.
Birthday Gifts for Leaplings
Did you know that those born on 29th February are called Leaplings? Their birthday only comes once every four years, making them even more special. The next time they’ll be able to celebrate on their actual birthdate will be in 2028, 2032 and 2036. For a memorable gift, consider jewellery that celebrates their rare birthday or reflects their unique personality.
From the creative and empathetic nature of Aquarians and Pisceans to the calming energy of amethyst, February-born individuals are truly one-of-a-kind. Whether you're celebrating a leap year birthday or simply marking a special day, jewellery that reflects their personality and unique qualities is a thoughtful way to make their celebration even more meaningful.
