Move Over, Zodiacs: Birth Flowers and Signet Rings Set to Trend

By Karen Dybis | April 28, 2026

Birthstone jewelry is getting a revamp as brands grab onto birthstone bridal gown-and-jewelry trends or fresh ways of looking at the way jewelry wearers show off the month they were born.

Los Angeles–based Corvo Jewelry and Virginia-based Emily Warden Designs both recently debuted new collections aimed at changing the way people share their birthstone, bringing in floral flourishes and signature signets.

Corvo Jewelry’s Lily Raven translated the classic Victorian language of flowers into the Birth Flower Collection—a series of 14k gold and diamond coin necklaces where each of the 12 hand-sketched flowers represent 12 meanings across 12 months.

Similarly, Emily Warden debuted her new signature Birthstone Signet Ring collection, available in 10k gold and sterling silver. Each made-to-order mini ring is designed to celebrate the wearer’s birth month with its corresponding gemstone.

“Some people feel traditional birthstone jewelry is outdated. I wanted to challenge that idea and create something that felt fresh and relevant,” Warden says.

Even the bridal industry has gotten into the trend as brides look for new ways to dress their bridesmaids and themselves. Jewelry brand Abbott Lyon says its analysis of TikTok searches shows people on the platform looking for “birthstone dresses” up 1,833% this year.

Abbott Lyon calls the trend the Birthstone Bridal Party. Each bridesmaid wears a gown and jewellery inspired by her birth month’s color, like emerald for May or aquamarine for March.

To capitalize on the search trend, the Manchester, England-based brand started offering matching birthstone jewelry, like sapphire earrings for blue dresses or emerald pendants for green gowns. Abbott Lyon also offers birthstone pieces for all 12 months, including bridesmaid gift sets.

For her signet ring collection, Warden says she focused on unique stone shapes, pairing them with a clean, modern silhouette. She chose signet rings as her vehicle because that design has always been tied to personal identity.

“The goal was to create pieces that felt expressive, current, and easy to style—something you can reach for every day and use to celebrate yourself,” Warden says.

For Raven, the process of creating the Birth Flower collection was filled with research and exploration. She says she was always interested in birth flowers because her personal flower—the Lily of the Valley—coincidentally reflects her first name.

“Years ago, I did a deep dive into all of this and discovered Floriography, the ancient language of flowers as communication. It was a means to communicate messages without speaking certain sentiments aloud,” Raven says.

“It could be used to offer condolences in times of grief or, more romantically, to court someone. For each month’s birth flower, I chose what seemed to be the most commonly agreed-upon representation of the month, as well as for the Floriography message it held,” she says.

Raven, who also became a mom this past year, says she sees the Birth Flower collection as a way to celebrate the birthdays of anyone in your life, from your child to your mom to a treasured friend. She created a Birth Flower coin with custom engraving on the back to give people closest to her son a reminder of him.

“I just had a customer reach out last week about one of the Birth Flower necklaces and wanted to get her granddaughter’s flower. It’s becoming such a touching little charm to carry with us,” Raven says.

Although no jeweler plays favorites, Raven says she is particularly beguiled by her rendition within the Birth Flower collection of the gladiolus.

“Not only is it stunning and its relief in 14k gold is so unique, but it also has such a fascinating meaning,” she says. “The name comes from the Latin word for sword, gladius. It’s a flower that stands for bravery and determination. It’s such a gentle-looking flower with soft petals, but its meaning paints a vivid picture of its history.”
