Birth Flower Jewellery: A Month-by-Month Gift Guide to Philip Jones Necklaces and Bracelets

Prices in this article were checked on the Philip Jones website on 3 November 2026 and can change at any time.

Birthstones have long been the go-to for birthday jewellery, but birth flowers are becoming a popular alternative. Each month has its own flower, traditionally linked with a particular meaning, which makes a birth flower piece feel personal without needing engraving or a name.

UK jeweller Philip Jones sells a full set of birth flower necklaces and bracelets for every month, presented on a card that names the flower. In a previous guide we looked at its initial jewellery; this time the focus is birth flowers, with a month-by-month guide to help you pick the right one.

Birth Flowers by Month

Here are the flowers Philip Jones uses for each month, along with the meanings they are commonly associated with:

Flowers as named by Philip Jones. Meanings are traditional associations and vary between sources.

A useful tip: if you are buying for a winter birthday, December’s Holly Berry and January’s Snowdrop double as seasonal designs, which makes them a natural fit for Christmas presents too.

The Birth Flower Necklaces

Each necklace features an oval pendant engraved with the month’s flower. The pendant measures 12.3mm x 16mm and hangs on a 43cm cable chain with a 5cm extender and a lobster claw clasp, so it can sit at a classic collarbone length or slightly lower. The necklace weighs 4.23g, light enough for everyday wear.

You can choose silver plated or 18k gold plated brass. On 3 November 2026 the necklaces were £11, down from £14, and each comes in a gift pouch with a card showing the month and its flower.

The Beaded Stretch Bracelets

If the person you are buying for prefers bracelets, the beaded stretch bracelets carry a 12mm round flower charm. They stretch from 17.8cm to 20.3cm, so there is no clasp to fiddle with and no need to know an exact wrist size, which is ideal when buying as a surprise. They weigh 12.6g and are described as hypoallergenic.

The bracelets come in silver tone or 18k gold plated versions, with or without the presentation card, and were £12 (was £15) when we checked.

Making It a Gift

Philip Jones offers free UK standard delivery, which takes two to four working days. Express delivery costs £1 and Special Delivery £7, and orders placed before 2pm Monday to Friday are dispatched the same day, which helps with last-minute birthdays. For a more finished presentation you can add a gift box, gift bag and polishing cloth for £6. The retailer also advertises a Lowest Price Guarantee.

Because the prices are so modest, birth flower pieces also work well for group gifts: matching bracelets for bridesmaids or a set of necklaces for sisters or a mother and daughters, each with their own month.

How to Choose the Right Piece

Start with what the recipient already wears. Someone who wears the same chain every day will probably get more use from a necklace, while anyone who stacks bracelets or wears a watch will find a stretch bracelet easy to add to the mix. Look at their metal tone too: if their rings and earrings are mostly yellow gold, choose the 18k gold plated version; if they lean towards silver or white gold, pick silver.

Think about the occasion as well. A necklace on its birth flower card makes a complete small gift on its own, ideal for a birthday, a secret Santa or a thank you for a teacher. A bracelet works well as a stocking filler or as part of a larger present, and it can be paired with a necklace in the same flower for a coordinated set.

For new babies, a birth flower necklace for the new mother, chosen for the baby’s birth month rather than her own, is a thoughtful keepsake.

Caring for Plated Jewellery

Plated jewellery keeps its finish longest with a little care. Take pieces off before showering, swimming or exercising, and put perfume and moisturiser on before your jewellery rather than after. Wipe each piece gently with a soft cloth after wearing and store it in its pouch or a separate compartment so chains do not tangle and surfaces do not scratch. The polishing cloth included with the £6 gift box add-on is useful here.

Other Ideas From the Range

• Birthstone charms, £8: clip-on charms that can be added to a bracelet alongside a birth flower design.
• Jewellery sets, £18–£19: matching sets such as the Clover Pearl Drop, Heart Halo and Pear Halo designs.
• Initial jewellery: letter pendants and bracelets for a more literal personal touch.

Final Thoughts

Birth flower jewellery is an easy way to make a small gift feel considered. Philip Jones covers every month in both necklace and bracelet form, in silver or gold tones, at prices that sit comfortably under £15. Pick the flower for the recipient’s birthday month, add the gift box if you want it ready to hand over and take advantage of same-day dispatch if time is short. You can see every month’s design on the Philip Jones website.
