Product Insights
The Small Birthstone Chain from the exclusive Simons x Midi34 collection is a $29.95 CAD entry piece in Simons' $29–$119 Midi34 designer program: a 14K gold-plated 925 sterling silver chain with a small birthstone pendant built around the 1912 Jewelers of America month-color standard, using one fixed transparent lab-grown cubic zirconia tint for each month even where a month historically splits into transparent and opaque stones, so the April option is colorless D-grade CZ and October substitutes pink tourmaline for opal; the stones are not the gemstones their names imply but CZ whose 8.5 Mohs hardness out-scratches every real birthstone except diamond, ruby, and sapphire, and whose 0.058–0.066 dispersion exceeds diamond's, while each month retains its documented lore and symbolism and the pearl, ruby, sapphire, emerald, and diamond colors overlap with anniversary stones; the chain is designed and assembled by a six-person Quebec City studio since 2017 under Midi34, named for founder Jessie Bourgault's 12:34 birth time and 15:34 loss, and sold only at Simons in a collaboration running since 2019; it is positioned as a discreet, classic birthday or milestone gift and for office and everyday wear, with a 925 silver core that does not turn skin green like brass-based birthstone chains and can be replated for about $20–$60 once the 14K gold—harder than 18K or 24K and expected to last 12–18 months of everyday wear—thins first at the clasp and extender, revealing pale silver rather than copper; it has 7 reviews but is out of stock, and the main tradeoffs are that the CZ can chip on a hard knock despite scratch resistance, the light pendant flips and needs re-centering, the clasp can drift from nape to front—worn short with the adjustable extender this is reduced—and the gold layer only shields most skin because sterling can carry trace nickel, so hypoallergenic is not guaranteed; storage away from diamonds, sapphires, and rubies is advised to keep CZ facets from rubbing, and the design pairs with matching earrings for a coordinated set, but the core limitation remains a simulated, brittle stone on a finite plated chain rather than a mined birthstone or solid-gold heirloom.
Verified claims
- Birthstone standard
- Every month-colour pairing follows the 1912 Jewelers of America standard.
- Birthstone calendar
- Each birthstone colour marks a month; multi-stone months use one fixed tint here.
- Stone choice
- Where a month splits transparent vs opaque, this chart takes the transparent stone.
- Birthstone meaning
- Each month's stone carries its own symbolism, from January's protective garnet to April's diamond.
- Stone value
- All twelve months are the same cubic zirconia in a tint, not the gemstone its name implies.
- Scratch resistance
- 8.5 Mohs hardness out-scratches every real birthstone except diamond, ruby and sapphire.
- Stone lore
- Each month's gem carries documented lore — garnet as protection, peridot as the sun gem, diamond as unconquerable.
- Birthstone chart
- Every month-to-stone pairing follows the standard 1912 jewellers' chart, which lists transparent stones only.
- Month alternatives
- Twelve variants, each month a single tint — an October buyer wanting opal gets pink tourmaline instead.
- Gifting
- Buyers chose it as a birthday or milestone gift, its discreet, classic design reading as a safe present.
- Partnership
- Exclusive Simons–Midi34 collaboration since 2019, sold only at Simons.
- Local production
- Designed and assembled by a six-person Quebec City studio since 2017
- Material
- 14K gold plated 925 sterling silver with uniform CZ birthstones; Midi34's vermeil specialty.
- Price band
- At $29.95 CAD, the entry price of Simons' $29–$119 Midi34 designer program.
- Plating durability
- 14k gold plating is a harder layer than 18k or 24k, and a neck chain sees the least wear
- Replating
- Once the gold thins, a jeweler can replate the 925 silver base for about $20–$60
- Aging appearance
- When the gold thins, worn spots show pale 925 silver that dulls softly, not copper green
- Hypoallergenic
- The gold layer shields most skin, but sterling can carry trace nickel, so it is not guaranteed hypoallergenic
- Stone brittleness
- The CZ stone resists scratches but can chip on a hard knock against a countertop
- Chip risk
- The stone is brittle: a hard knock against a countertop or doorframe can chip the pendant.
- Stone origin
- Every stone is lab-grown CZ, synthesized optically flawless rather than mined.
- Sparkle and value
- Cubic zirconia disperses light at 0.058–0.066, above diamond's 0.044
- April diamond color
- The April option is colorless CZ, a perfect D grade on diamond's scale
- Clasp
- Buyers report the clasp drifts from the nape to the front during wear.
- Fit
- Worn short, the adjustable extender braces the chain and reduces the clasp drift.
- Skin discoloration
- Its 925 silver core does not turn skin green the way copper-cored plated jewelry does.
- Base metal quality
- The 925 sterling base holds the recoverable value; typical birthstone chains use a brass base that reclaims nothing.
- Value and features
- Exclusive Simons–Midi34 capsule in 14k gold-plated sterling silver at CAD 29.95, inside the accessible $29–$119 designer band.
- Storage
- Store it away from diamonds, sapphires and rubies, and bag it so CZ facets don't rub.
- Chipping
- Hardness doesn't stop chips: a knock can chip the CZ, so remove it for impact-heavy tasks.
- Plating lifespan
- Plating lasts 12–18 months of everyday wear.
- Plating wear
- The clasp and extender wear first; what shows underneath is pale 925 silver, not grey or copper.

A birthday or milestone gift with a personal touch
Based on customer reviews, this birthstone chain is often chosen as a birthday or milestone present, with the birthstone personalization making it feel thoughtful. Its classic, discreet design suits those who prefer understated jewelry, and buyers have noted it will stand the test of time.[1]
Celebrating a birth month with a birthstone chain
This necklace works as a personalized piece tied to a birth month, with the stone chart matching each month to a color — garnet for January, amethyst for February, and so on through turquoise for December. Reviewers have described the stone as adding a meaningful, customized touch that celebrates a special month. Note the chart specifies stone colors; the composition lists cubic zirconia.[1,2]
A discreet necklace for office and everyday wear
Per reviewer feedback summarized in an analysis of customer reviews, this birthstone chain's delicate chain and petite stone give it a pretty, lightweight feel that fits professional settings. Experiences were mixed, though: one reviewer reported the clasp can slide to the front during movement and needs adjusting.[1]
A delicate chain with a caveat for active wear
This birthstone chain is the kind of piece you might wear day to day, but according to one customer review it can be tricky during activity: while walking or dancing, the clasp reportedly does not stay put, letting the pendant shift around to the front of the neck. If you plan to keep it on through movement, that reported tendency is worth keeping in mind.[1]
A delicate garnet set for a cohesive look
Wear this delicate garnet chain together with its matching earrings for a coordinated, elegant look. Based on a customer review analysis, feedback on pairing the necklace with the matching earrings has been positive. The earrings are a separate product.[1]

Evaluation
Belle valeur, sobre, classique et discret. Bonne qualité.
Small birthstone chain
Delicate chain and stone. Only downside is the clasp does not stay put at the back of my neck, as I move the clasp ends up at the front next to the stone.
On se ressemble !
Le collier, les boucles d'oreilles, le grenat et moi faisons une bonne paire. J'aime la delicatesse de ces bijoux. Je les recommande ❤️
Magnifique petit collier delicat
J’adore!
