A birthstone is a simple, personal way to choose a gemstone: match the stone to the birth month. Here's a month-by-month guide, with the traditional birthstone for each and, where we carry it, a bracelet to match. Birthstones make especially thoughtful, no-guesswork gifts.
- January, Garnet. A deep red stone of energy and devotion. See the garnet bracelet.
- February, Amethyst. Calming purple quartz. See amethyst.
- March, Aquamarine. A cool, sea-blue stone tied to calm and clarity.
- April, Clear Quartz. The master healer, a bright and versatile alternative to April's diamond.
- May, Green Aventurine. A green stone of luck and opportunity, a lovely stand-in for emerald. See green aventurine.
- June, Pearl. Timeless and soft, a symbol of purity and calm.
- July, Ruby. A deep red stone of passion and vitality. See ruby, or carnelian as a warm alternative.
- August, Peridot. A fresh lime-green stone of warmth and light.
- September, Sapphire. A regal blue stone of wisdom. See sapphire, with lapis lazuli as a rich alternative.
- October, Opal or Pink Tourmaline. Shimmering opal or loving pink tourmaline.
- November, Citrine. A sunny golden stone of abundance and joy.
- December, Turquoise or Lapis. Sky-blue turquoise or deep blue lapis lazuli. See lapis lazuli.
