Birthstones

 Our most-loved and often-used gemstones, along with the birth month they represent.

JANUARY - GARNET

Awareness, commitment, regeneration, order, insight.

The name "garnet" comes from the Latin word "Garanatus," meaning "seedlike," in reference to the bright red seeds of the pomegranate. In Greek mythology, a pomegranate is seen as a gift of eternal love. Since Hades had given a pomegranate to Persephone before she left him to ensure her speedy return, garnet may be given to a beloved before embarking on a trip. It is also believed to heal the broken bonds of lovers. However, the powers of a garnet lie dormant until it is polished. While traditionally a deep burgundy, Garnets can also be pink-red (Rhodolite Garnet), orange-red (Spessaritite Garnet) and spring green (Tsavorite Garnet) in addition to others.

FEBRUARY - AMETHYST

Contentment, spirituality, dreams, healing, peace, happiness, love, intuition.

Amethyst is said to promote the highest, purest aspirations of human kind. The stone encourages calm, bravery, and contemplation. Historically, the stone was believed to assist prophecy and visions and to bring riches and powers to its owners. At the highest level, amethyst bestows the spiritual understanding required to reach the state of bliss. Amethyst is part of the quartz family, like Citrine, and can sometimes even occur in conjunction with Citrine in a single gem, referred to as "Ametrine."

MARCH - AQUAMARINE

Courage, purification, peace, intuition, self-expression, balance, preparedness.

Since early times, aquamarine has been believed to endow the wearer with foresight, courage, and happiness. It is said to increase intelligence and promote youthfulness. The Romans believed that aquamarine absorbs the atmosphere of young love and in medieval times, the stone was thought to reawaken the love of long married couples. Aquamarine is part of the beryl family, along with Emeralds and Morganite.

APRIL - DIAMOND

Courage, strength, healing, protection, spirituality, mental abilities.

The Romans believed diamonds gave the wearer strength, invincibility, bravery, and courage during battle. Considered in olden times as 'tears of the Gods' or 'splinters from falling stars' and the idea that Cupid's arrows were tipped with them may be why diamonds are considered the ultimate symbol of love today. Diamonds are considered the first choice for bridal jewelry because they're the hardest known substance on earth! Diamonds will continue to sparkle after generations of wear. Cognac- and champagne-colored Diamonds are a gorgeous alternative to the traditional white Diamond.

MAY - EMERALD

Love, domestic bliss, sensitivity, loyalty, harmony, focus.

Prized by Cleopatra above all gems and representing spring, new birth and fertility, folklore suggests that these stones will improve memory and intelligence, while enhancing clairvoyance. They are also worn to boost love and contentment. The Egyptians buried emeralds with their Pharos because they believed they had the power of eternal youth. A gift of emeralds represents love and fidelity. Their distinctive deep green color is produced only under extremely rare conditions and because these conditions also result in tiny cracks and cavities in the stone, even the highest-qualities emeralds tend to have inclusions.

JUNE - Pearl & Alexandrite

Integrity, focus, wisdom, spirituality, sincerity, fertility.

Pearls, formed naturally in mollusks, have long symbolized purity, innocence, and emotional balance. Their soft luster and organic origin make them unique among gemstones, representing wisdom gained through experience.

Alexandrite, one of the rarest and most enchanting gems, is famous for its remarkable ability to change color—from green in daylight to red in incandescent light. This magical shift symbolizes transformation, focus, and inner strength.

Together, pearl and alexandrite give June a blend of softness and mystery—gems that speak to both the heart and spirit, bringing good fortune, love, and clarity.

JULY - RUBY

Nurturing, spiritual wisdom, passion, protection from distress.

Representative of devotion, desire and passion, Ruby promotes good luck in love and encourages sensitivity in relationships. It is said to be an antidote to poison, and was a stone of prophecy, darkening when danger was near. When rubbed on the skin a ruby is thought to restore youth and vitality. Rubies and Sapphires are both made up of the same material, corundum, but the name "Ruby" describes a particular shade of red.

AUGUST - PERIDOT & SPINEL

Strength, protection, harmony, good health, restful sleep.

Peridot, known for its vibrant olive-green hue, is the only gemstone that forms in just one color. Its shade can range from yellow-green to deep olive, depending on its iron content. Long believed to offer protection from nightmares and negativity, peridot is said to bring its wearer strength, good fortune, and a sense of renewal.

Spinel, once mistaken for ruby, comes in a wide array of colors and is valued for its brilliance and durability. It symbolizes energy, resilience, and harmony. Historically, spinel was believed to restore vitality and encourage restful sleep.

Together, peridot and spinel make August a month of balance and inner strength—gems that protect, empower, and refresh.

SEPTEMBER - SAPPHIRE

Wisdom, loyalty, nobility, truth, sincerity, faithfulness.

For centuries, sapphire has been associated with royalty and romance. The association was reinforced in 1981, when Britain's Prince Charles gave a blue sapphire engagement ring to Lady Diana Spencer. Until recently, sapphire was thought to guard against evil and poisoning. It was believed that a venomous snake would die if placed in a vessel made of sapphire. Traditionally a favorite stone of priests and kings, the sapphire symbolizes purity and wisdom.

OCTOBER - OPAL & TOURMALINE

Hope, innocence, purity, confidence, faithfulness.

Opal, treasured since ancient Roman times, was believed to be a symbol of hope and purity—a rainbow gifted by the gods. Made of water and silica, this delicate gem is famous for its mesmerizing play-of-color, shimmering with flashes of light and iridescent hues. Because of its unique structure, opal needs special care, adding to its sense of preciousness.

Tourmaline, by contrast, is known for its remarkable color range—from soft pinks to deep greens and blues. It symbolizes confidence, emotional healing, and creativity. Once believed to inspire artistic expression and offer protection, tourmaline brings a grounded balance to October’s more ethereal opal.

Together, these two stones offer a vivid, meaningful celebration of October’s spirit—full of color, emotion, and inner light.

NOVEMBER - TOPAZ

Love, affection, strength, wisdom, courage.

Topaz is a gemstone available in a rich rainbow of colors. Prized for several thousand years in antiquity, all yellow gems in antiquity were called topaz. Often confused with citrine quartz (yellow) and smoky quartz (brown), quartz and topaz are separate and unrelated minerals. The most prized color of topaz is called Imperial topaz after the Russian Czars of the 19th century and features a magnificent orange body color with pinkish undertones.

DECEMBER - ZIRCON & TANZANITE

Success, transformation, communication, wisdom, and truth.

Tanzanite, a relatively new gem, was discovered in 1967 in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. Found only near Arusha, Tanzania, it was named after its place of origin. Its captivating violet-blue color is caused by traces of vanadium. A variety of the mineral zoisite, tanzanite is softer than many other gemstones and should be worn with care to prevent scratching.

Zircon, often overlooked but equally enchanting, is one of the oldest minerals on earth. It comes in a range of colors, but the icy blue variety is especially popular in December. Known for its brilliance and fire, zircon has been valued for centuries and was once believed to aid in sleep, protect from evil, and bring prosperity.

Together, tanzanite and zircon offer a rich pairing of rarity and radiance—perfect symbols for those born in the final month of the year.
