Colours with meaning

This is written to help you choose colours that reflect personality, memory, or emotional meaning, whether you're honouring someone who’s passed or celebrating someone still present.

Colour with Meaning

Birthstones and Seasonal Shades in Keepsake Design

Colour is more than aesthetic. It’s emotion. It’s memory. It’s a quiet way to say “this is who they were” or “this is how I feel.” At Jasper’s Creations, colour is never chosen at random—it’s chosen with care, symbolism, and heart.

Whether you’re creating a keepsake for a person, a pet, or a moment you want to hold close, birthstones and seasonal tones can help shape the emotional language of your piece.

Birthstones: A Personal Connection

Birthstones are a beautiful way to honour someone’s life and presence. Each stone carries its own meaning, and choosing one can feel like a quiet tribute to the month they arrived in the world.

Here’s a gentle guide:

Month	Birthstone	Symbolism
January	Garnet	Protection, strength, loyalty
February	Amethyst	Peace, clarity, spiritual wisdom
March	Aquamarine	Calm, courage, the sea
April	Diamond	Purity, love, resilience
May	Emerald	Renewal, growth, unconditional love
June	Pearl / Moonstone	Intuition, softness, nurturing
July	Ruby	Passion, devotion, vitality
August	Peridot	Healing, harmony, lightness
September	Sapphire	Wisdom, truth, serenity
October	Opal / Tourmaline	Creativity, emotion, transformation
November	Citrine / Topaz	Joy, abundance, warmth
December	Turquoise / Zircon	Protection, friendship, peace

You might choose a birthstone to represent your loved one—or even combine stones to reflect multiple souls, like I did with Jasper and Eddie. Jasper’s turquoise birthstone and Eddie’s ocean-blue spirit came together in my heart-shaped ring, honouring their bond and personalities.

Seasonal Colours: Nature’s Emotional Palette

Sometimes, the season of loss or remembrance carries its own emotional weight. Choosing colours that reflect the time of year can add quiet symbolism to your keepsake.

• Spring – Soft greens, pale pinks, and gentle yellows for renewal, hope, and beginnings

• Summer – Ocean blues, coral tones, and golden hues for warmth, joy, and vibrancy

• Autumn – Deep oranges, burgundy, and earthy browns for reflection, change, and grounding

• Winter – Cool greys, icy blues, and whites for stillness, memory, and quiet love

You might choose a colour that reflects the season your pet loved most, or the time of year your loved one passed—or simply a tone that feels emotionally true.

When You’re Not Sure What to Choose

If you’re unsure, we can explore it together. Some clients choose based on personality traits. Others are drawn to a colour instinctively. Some blend tones to reflect multiple emotions—grief and joy, memory and presence.

There’s no wrong choice. Only what feels right to you.

Colour That Carries Love

Whether it’s a birthstone, a seasonal shade, or a custom blend that speaks to your heart, colour can transform a keepsake into something deeply personal. Something that doesn’t just look beautiful—but feels meaningful too.
