Birthstones
Chapter 12 of the Clasp user guide.
A stone for every month is how many jewelry gifts are chosen. The Birthstones section is a band of twelve small cabochons, one per month: each a round gem drawn in the stone's color (or your own photo of the stone, cropped round), with the month under it in the heading font and the stone's name. The current month, by the shopper's own clock, sits on a small card with a gilt ring around its gem and "This month" under it, and screen readers hear "(this month)". Each month links where you choose, such as a birthstone collection. On phones and tablets the months become a row that shoppers swipe, scrolled so the current month is in view.
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Kicker, Heading | "Birthstones", "A stone for every month" | Your words |
| Colour scheme | Champagne band | Champagne band, Page or Lining band |
| Highlight the current month | On | Marks the shopper's current month |
| Current month label | This month | Under the current month's gem |
Up to twelve Month blocks (the section starts with all twelve):
| Setting | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Month | January | January to December. Month names follow your store's language. |
| Stone | Garnet | The stone's name, under the month |
| Stone colour | #9b2335 | The gem's color. The preset: Garnet, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Diamond, Emerald, Pearl, Ruby, Peridot, Sapphire, Opal, Citrine and Turquoise. |
| Image | Empty | Optional gem photo, cropped round, instead of the drawn gem |
| Link | Empty | Where the month goes, such as /collections/birthstones or a collection per month. A month without a link isn't a link. |
The current month is set in the shopper's browser, never stored in the page, so it is always right, even on a page served from cache. With no Month blocks the section shows nothing on your storefront.
