Welcoming the Season of Sparkle

December has a way of slowing us down and reminding us of what really matters—warm lights, meaningful connections, and the beauty of things made with intention. As we settle into this season of reflection and celebration, there’s one thing we want to honor right away:

You.

Whether you’ve been collecting our pieces for years or simply paused to admire one along your scroll, you’ve played a part in this creative journey. Your support—big or small—keeps the heartbeat of b. shannon designs strong. It allows us to continue crafting jewelry that carries story, heritage, and a spark of stone magic.

We don’t take that lightly. And we don’t take you for granted.

💎 December’s Gemstone Magic

December is blessed with some of the most enchanting birthstones in the entire calendar—stones full of color, energy, and meaning, each one reflecting the spirit of the season.

✨ Tanzanite — Transformation & New Beginnings

With its shifting blues and violets, Tanzanite mirrors winter’s quiet transition into a new year. It’s associated with insight, intuition, and fresh starts—perfect for those end-of-December moments when we catch ourselves dreaming about what comes next.

✨ Blue Zircon — Light, Clarity & Joy

Not to be confused with cubic zirconia, natural Blue Zircon is ancient, fiery, and full of brilliance. Its energy is tied to clarity and illumination, making it a beautiful symbol for December’s celebrations and festivities. It’s the gemstone equivalent of holiday lights—tiny sparks of joy.

✨ Turquoise — Peace, Protection & Connection

Turquoise has been cherished for thousands of years, and it’s easy to see why. There’s a calming, steady quality to it—like a deep breath during a busy season. It’s long been used as a symbol of protection and communication, making it a meaningful companion for holiday gatherings and winter travels.

✨ Looking Ahead with Heart

As we wrap up the year, we’re entering the studio with renewed inspiration and a sense of wonder for what’s next. December always nudges us to create from a place of intention—pieces that feel timeless, personal, and quietly magical.

I invite you to come in and see which creation resonates with you.

With Warmth & Seasonal Sparkle,
