A rose for June, a daisy for April and a snowdrop for January. Did you know that every birth month has its own flower? Just like birthstones, every month has a flower with a symbolic meaning. And some are truly surprisingly beautiful!
Perhaps you are curious which flower belongs to your birthday. Or maybe you want to have a necklace engraved with the birth flower of your mother, daughter or best friend.
At Just Good Jewellery, you can have the different birth flowers engraved as a fine line drawing on a pendant. And the great thing is that with many designs, you can also choose the necklace and length yourself.
But first: which flower actually belongs to your month?

What is a birth flower?
A birth flower, also known as a birthflower, is a flower that traditionally belongs to a certain birth month.
Just like birthstones, these flowers are given different meanings. Think of love, friendship, hope or a new beginning.
These meanings come from flower symbolism and can vary by tradition. That is why you sometimes come across multiple flowers for the same month online.
At JGJ, we have chosen one beautiful flower design for every month that you can have set on different engravable pendants.
And maybe you will find your own birth flower absolutely beautiful. But if the one from another month suits your taste better, of course you can choose that one too!
Birth flowers by month: discover your flower and its meaning
January – Snowdrop
The snowdrop is one of the first flowers to appear after winter. That is why it is often associated with hope and a new beginning.
The design features small, hanging flowers on a fine stem. It is precisely because of this simple shape that we think it makes a beautiful engraving for a minimalist pendant.
February – Violet
Were you born in February? Then the violet belongs to your month.
This flower is traditionally associated with loyalty, modesty and affection.
The violet has a recognizable flower shape with soft, round petals. As a line drawing, it looks lovely on a round pendant.
March – Daffodil
The daffodil is the birth flower of March and symbolizes renewal and a new start. That naturally fits the month in which spring begins.
With its striking petals and trumpet-shaped heart, the daffodil has a very recognizable shape.
We would definitely like to see this engraving on a slightly larger pendant, so that the details remain clearly visible.
April – Daisy
The daisy belongs to April and is often associated with innocence, sincerity and a new beginning.
A flower with many small petals around a round heart. And that is precisely what makes the daisy so lovely as an engraving.
It looks beautiful on a round pendant, but this design can also look lovely on a heart-shaped pendant.
May – Lily of the valley
The birth flower of May is the lily of the valley, with those small bell-shaped flowers hanging from a curved stem.
This flower is traditionally associated with luck and gentleness.
The delicate line work fits perfectly with a minimalist piece of jewellery. We would definitely like to see this flower on a slightly more elongated pendant, if that design is available with this engraving.
June – Rose
The rose is perhaps one of the best-known birth flowers. June, therefore!
Roses have long symbolized love and appreciation. And the great thing is that the flower itself also has a very recognizable design.
For example, we think a rose engraving would look lovely on a round or heart-shaped pendant.
And of course, you don't have to immediately come up with a romantic story for it. Maybe you simply think that rose is the most beautiful flower of all.
July – Water lily
For July, we have the water lily as the birth flower at JGJ.
This flower is often associated with purity and beauty.
The water lily has a beautiful, open flower shape and is therefore very recognizable as a line drawing.
A lovely choice if you like to wear a flower with a bit more detail on your pendant.
August – Poppy
The poppy belongs to August and is associated with memory and imagination, among other things.
With its large, wavy petals, this is truly a different flower from, for example, the delicate snowdrop.
As an engraving, the poppy therefore gets a very distinctive look.
We especially like it on a pendant where the flower shape is clearly visible.
September – Climbing morning glory
The birth flower of September in our JGJ selection is the climbing morning glory.
This flower has a recognizable funnel shape and is associated with affection and connection in flower symbolism, among other things.
It may not be the first flower you think of, but that is precisely why we think it is a lovely discovery.
As a fine line drawing, it has a beautiful, simple look.
October – Cosmos
The cosmos belongs to October and traditionally stands for harmony and balance.
With its open flower shape and delicate petals, it is a beautiful design to have engraved.
For example, we think a cosmos would look lovely on a minimalist round pendant, combined with a fine chain.
And if you want to add a bit of colour? Then see if you can add a birthstone to the chosen piece of jewellery.
November – Chrysanthemum
For November, the chrysanthemum is the birth flower.
The flower is often associated with friendship, loyalty and appreciation.
Due to the many narrow petals, the chrysanthemum has a slightly fuller look than some other birth flowers.
We especially like the contrast between those delicate petals and a smooth metal pendant.
December – Holly
Were you born in December? Then holly belongs to your birth month.
Holly is traditionally associated with hope and protection.
With its pointed leaves and small berries, this birth flower looks very different from the other months.
And that is precisely what makes it lovely as an engraving. Especially if you like a slightly more striking line design with different details.
Have a necklace with your birth flower engraved? This is how you make it completely yours
Now that you know which birth flower belongs to your month, it will be fun to think about how you want to wear it.
At Just Good Jewellery, you can have the flowers engraved on different types of pendants. And with many designs, you also have different choices in necklaces and lengths.
Choose a pendant that you think is beautiful
Are you going for a round pendant, a heart-shaped pendant or another shape?
A small round pendant, for example, gives a completely different look than a slightly larger heart.
With some pieces of jewellery, you choose from different pendant shapes yourself. With other designs, the pendant is already fixed and you can immediately continue with the other options.
Choose your favourite necklace and length
This really makes a difference!
An engraved birth flower on a fine chain with beads looks very different from the same flower on a chain with larger links.
With many JGJ designs, you can also choose from different chain lengths, such as 32, 40, 45, 50 or 60 cm.
A shorter chain is, for example, lovely if you want to combine the birth flower with a longer chain. And a slightly longer link chain can make a larger engraved pendant look particularly beautiful.
Which necklaces and lengths are available varies by design.
An extra birthstone? A lovely idea!
And maybe you want a small accent of colour in addition to your birth flower.
With many of our engravable necklaces, you can add an extra birthstone. This way, you combine the flower of your birth month with a coloured pendant.
Think of a rose for June with a light purple birthstone, or a cosmos for October with a pink stone.
And of course, you can also see which colour you think is the most beautiful.
Do pay attention to the fact that the available extra pendants may vary per piece of jewellery.
Giving a birth flower as a gift? We think these are lovely ideas
A necklace with a birth flower is also very lovely as a gift.
For your mother, you could, for example, have her own birth flower engraved. Or choose the flower of your birth month, if you want to give her that personal touch.
For your best friend, a fine necklace with her birth flower is a lovely idea, especially if you know which length and type of necklace she likes to wear.
And for your sister or daughter? Maybe she would choose a slightly more striking necklace, with a larger pendant or an extra birthstone.
Our tip: don't just look at the meaning of the flower, but especially at the pieces of jewellery she thinks are beautiful. This way, you give something personal that she will truly love to wear.
And of course, we package your JGJ jewellery beautifully. Lovely if it is a gift, but also if you have chosen your own birth flower!
Which birth flower is your favourite?
Maybe you will choose the flower that belongs to your birth month. Or you will discover that you actually like the rose, cosmos or daisy even more.
At Just Good Jewellery, you can have that flower engraved on a pendant and, with many designs, also determine yourself which necklace and length fit.
With an extra birthstone, you can make the combination even more colourful.
This way, a birth flower becomes not only a beautiful symbol, but especially a piece of jewellery that perfectly suits your style.
