Birthstone Jewelry: A Guide to Every Month's Stone

Birthstone jewelry is one of the most meaningful and personal gifts you can give — or receive. Each month has a stone associated with it, and wearing your birthstone (or gifting someone else's) carries a sense of identity and intention that generic jewelry simply can't match. Here's a complete guide to every month's birthstone and what makes it special.

January — Garnet

Deep red garnet symbolizes friendship, trust, and protection. It's a rich, warm stone that pairs beautifully with yellow gold settings. Our Trilliant Cut Garnet Ring in 14k Yellow Gold is a striking choice, and our Garnet Necklace with Diamond Accents adds brilliance to the stone's natural warmth. For a multistone option, our Garnet, Citrine, Amethyst, Aquamarine & Peridot Ring is a stunning celebration of color.

February — Amethyst

Violet amethyst is associated with clarity, calm, and creativity. Our Oval Amethyst with Diamond Accent Necklace makes a perfect February birthday gift — elegant, personal, and beautifully crafted. It also features in our multistone Garnet, Citrine, Amethyst, Aquamarine & Peridot Ring.

March — Aquamarine

Aquamarine's cool blue-green tones evoke the ocean and carry associations with courage and serenity. Our Garnet, Citrine, Amethyst, Aquamarine & Peridot Ring in 14k Yellow Gold features aquamarine alongside other colorful stones in one show-stopping piece.

April — Diamond

The ultimate gemstone. Diamonds represent strength, clarity, and eternal love. If you know an April birthday person, diamond accent jewelry — like our Half Carat Sapphire Diamond Halo Necklace — is a timeless choice.

May — Emerald

Lush green emerald is associated with growth, renewal, and prosperity. Its deep green color is one of the most distinctive in all of fine jewelry. Browse our fine jewelry gift collection for beautiful options in this category.

June — Pearl

Pearl is the classic June birthstone — soft, luminous, and timeless. Our Floating Solitaire Pearl Necklace and Tall Pearl Tulip Ring in 14k Yellow Gold are both beautifully understated pieces that honor the elegance of pearl. Also explore our Solitaire Pearl Bracelet for a complete pearl jewelry look.

July — Ruby

Vivid red ruby is the stone of passion, vitality, and love. Our Pear Shaped Ruby Diamond Halo Necklace is an extraordinary July birthday gift that celebrates the stone's fiery beauty in a fine jewelry setting.

August — Peridot

Bright lime-green peridot is one of the few gemstones that comes in only one color. It's cheerful, distinctive, and pairs beautifully with yellow gold. Our Garnet, Citrine, Amethyst, Aquamarine & Peridot Ring features peridot alongside other stunning stones, and our Garnet, Opal, Peridot & Cubic Zirconia Ring with Rope Design is another gorgeous multistone option.

September — Sapphire

Deep blue sapphire is September's birthstone and one of the most beloved gemstones in fine jewelry. Our Heart Shaped Sapphire Diamond Halo Necklace and Diamond & Sapphire Mudra Hand Necklace are two beautiful expressions of this regal stone.

October — Opal

Opal is the most iridescent of all gemstones — no two are alike. Its play of color makes it one of the most visually captivating choices in jewelry. Our Oval Opal Necklace with Diamond Accents in 14k Yellow Gold, Pear Shaped Opal Necklace, and Oval Opal Heart Shaped Necklace each showcase the stone's ethereal beauty beautifully.

November — Citrine

Warm golden-yellow citrine is the stone of positivity, abundance, and energy. It has a sunny quality that makes it particularly suited to yellow gold settings. Our multistone Garnet, Citrine, Amethyst, Aquamarine & Peridot Ring features citrine as part of a vibrant, colorful collection of stones in solid 14k yellow gold.

December — Turquoise

Turquoise is one of December's birthstones and one of the most storied gemstones in human history. Our Arrowhead Turquoise Fish Necklace is a unique and meaningful December birthday piece.
