Those born in the bright, beautiful month of July are often thought to be just as bold and well-loved as the season they arrive in. They’re usually caring, sincere, intelligent and full of optimism, so it only feels right that July birthday gifts should be just as special as they are.
Not something chosen purely because it was easy, or because it happened to be the first thing you found, but something considered and thought through. Something that feels personal, thoughtful and as special as the person you’re buying for.
So, if you’re looking for meaningful birthday gifts that we can almost guarantee no one else will have thought of, we’ve got you. Here are some jewellery pieces and keepsakes that are sure to have them smiling as bright as the summer sunshine.
July Birthstone Jewellery
The July birthstone is ruby, a bold red gemstone that has always been connected with love, loyalty and courage, characteristics that also make a lot of sense for July babies. They’re often known for being caring, sincere and protective of the people they love, but they also have that bright, confident side that makes them hard not to admire. Ruby feels like the perfect match for all of that.
July birthstone jewellery is a wonderful way to celebrate those qualities in a gift they can wear every day. It reminds them of their birthday month and everything that makes them special, but with many of our designs also available to personalise with names, dates or meaningful words, it can remind them of something else too. If you’d like to learn more about the symbolism behind rubies and explore different styles, our guide to July birthstone jewellery explores everything in more detail.
July Birth Flower Jewellery
Alongside the ruby, July is also represented by the water lily, a flower linked with purity, growth and finding beauty in unexpected places. Much like many people born in July, there’s strength to the water lily since it spends its life rooted beneath the surface yet rises above the water to bloom. If this speaks to you, we suggest learning more about the symbolism of the July birth flower and why it has become associated with this summer month.
Our July Birth Flower Necklace brings the beauty of the water lily to life, crafted from 925 sterling silver. The three-dimensional pendant features finely detailed pointed leaves inspired by those of a real water lily floating across the water’s surface while at its centre sits a contrasting 18ct yellow gold vermeil detail, reflecting the flower’s distinctive golden centre and creating a beautiful balance between the two precious metals.
Handwriting Jewellery
Our own handwriting says a lot about us, but there’s something even more special about the writing of those we love. We can see a birthday card from a parent or a message written by a partner or child and instantly know who those words came from. It can bring their voice into your head and heart straight away which can be especially beautiful if it’s someone you miss or want to keep closer. So for those looking for thoughtful July birthday gifts, you’ll always create something special with handwriting jewellery.
To create your piece, we just need a clear photo of the handwriting you’d like to preserve and from there, our engravers recreate it exactly as it was written onto your chosen necklace, bracelet, charm or keepsake. We’ll ensure every little flick, curve and detail that makes the chosen handwriting unique is preserved, as if they’ve written it onto the design themselves. For anyone curious about the process, learn more about how handwriting jewellery is created from start to finish.
Fingerprint Jewellery
No two fingerprints are ever the same, which makes them one of the most personal gifts you can give someone. Unlike a standard piece of jewellery that could belong to anyone, fingerprint jewellery is created from a part of a person that is uniquely theirs. It’s a lovely way to celebrate the bond between a parent and child, a husband and wife or anyone whose place in your life deserves recognising on their birthday.
Creating fingerprint jewellery is easier than most people expect. If you already have a fingerprint impression, we can work from a clear photograph, or if not, our Inkless Print Kit makes capturing one at home quick and mess-free. We have a guide dedicated to capturing a fingerprint if you’ve never done it before. From there, our engravers carefully recreate every line and detail onto your chosen necklace, bracelet, charm or keyring, creating a birthday gift that couldn’t belong to anyone else.
Children’s Drawing Jewellery
Summer holidays often mean afternoons spent colouring at the kitchen table, drawing pictures in the garden and proudly presenting the latest masterpiece for the fridge door. So, for anyone searching for birthday gifts for parents or grandparents with a July birthday, children’s drawing jewellery is a lovely way to capture a little piece of that stage of life and turn it into something they can keep forever.
All they need to do is draw a picture, write a message or create a little doodle that’s special to them. Once you send us a photograph of the artwork, our engravers carefully recreate it onto your chosen necklace, keyring, bracelet or keepsake, preserving every wonky line and smiling face exactly as it was originally drawn. It’s those imperfections that often make July birthday gifts like this so perfect.
Celebrate July Birthdays with Personalised Birthday Gifts
July birthdays have such a lovely warmth to them, and the gifts we choose should feel the same. They should feel chosen with care, personal to them and reflective of who they are, rather than just what you could buy.
A personalised piece of jewellery or a keepsake does exactly that. It gives them something to open on the day, but also something they can wear and carry for years to come.
