The Birth Collection — September
Green Strawberry Quartz
For the household with more than one heartbeat in it.
Three pieces that come apart
A jade collar for them, a chain for you, and a cluster of three pendants — the green strawberry quartz, a charm, and a locket that opens to hold a photograph. Wear the cluster on either piece, or split it between you.
- ✦ Natural green strawberry quartz, vegan leather, gold-plated hardware
- ✦ Locket opens to hold a photograph
- ✦ Pendants clip to either the collar or the chain
- ✦ 30-day returns
One pendant, two ways to wear it
There is no owner's version and no pet's version. There is one pendant.
Some days it hangs at your neck. Some days it hangs from their collar. It cannot do both at once — one of you is always wearing it for the other. At home it usually lives on the collar; when you go away, it comes with you.
That is the point of the whole collection, and it is why we did not make two of everything. Two matching pieces would only prove you bought a set. One piece, passed back and forth for years, proves something else.
What arrives
- ✦The pet collar, plain and unadorned, made for an animal to wear all day. The pendant's spring ring clips onto the collar loop and sits there securely, without working loose.
- ✦The human chain, plain and unadorned, so the same pendant hangs at your neck as it would from any necklace.
- ✦The three-piece pendant: the birth-month stone, the number charm and the hinged locket, which come apart and go back together however you want them arranged.
- ✦Nothing is threaded shut and nothing needs a tool. The pendant lifts off one and onto the other in a second — which is the only thing you have to do to swap it.
Traditionally, the stone of harmony and easy company
Why green strawberry quartz for September
Green strawberry quartz is a soft green with fine inclusions scattered through it, like seeds suspended in water. In crystal tradition it is a heart stone, and it is always spoken of in terms of harmony and warmth rather than force — the gentle end of the collection. It is the one to choose when what you want is not really change — only that everyone in the house should get along a little better, animals included.
For homes with more than one animal, where the sofa is contested and the food bowls have politics. Worn as a wish for a quieter household rather than a fix for one — and for the ordinary closeness: the cat who appears the moment you sit down, the dog who changes rooms when you do.
These follow the studio’s own stone-per-month system rather than the traditional birthstone list. Want a different stone on the september strap? Write to us — every set is made to order.

Looked after for life
Send it back whenever it needs us
Clasps loosen, buckles wear through, and stone goes dull against fur. Whenever that happens — next year or in ten years — send the piece to our Singapore studio and we will re-fit the hardware, or re-string and cleanse the stones, and send it back to you.
- What it covers
- Hardware repairs and replacement, and cleansing or re-stringing the stones.
- What it costs
- The work is free, for as long as the piece is yours. Shipping it to us is not — see below.
- Who it is for
- The person who bought the piece. Stockists and dropshippers are covered by their partner terms instead.
What it does not cover: shipping the piece to our Singapore headquarters, which is yours to arrange and pay for; loss; and a stone broken by being chewed or stood on — though write to us about that last one anyway, because we would rather replace a bead than see a set retired. hello@petscrystals.com
