Birthstones make a gift personal without much guesswork. Here's the full list, from our GIA certified team.
January: Garnet
Deep red and durable enough for everyday wear.
February: Amethyst
Purple quartz, from soft lilac to deep violet.
March: Aquamarine
Clear, ocean blue. A natural fit for a Gulf Coast birthday.
April: Diamond
The hardest natural gemstone, and the easiest birthstone gift to get right.
May: Emerald
Rich green. Emeralds are softer and more delicate, so they're best in protective settings.
June: Pearl, Alexandrite or Moonstone
Pearls are the classic choice. Take them off before swimming or putting on perfume.
July: Ruby
Bold red, and second only to diamond in hardness.
August: Peridot, Spinel or Sardonyx
Peridot's bright lime green is the most popular August pick.
September: Sapphire
Known for blue, but sapphires also come in pink, yellow and more.
October: Opal or Tourmaline
Opals flash every color. Tourmaline comes in a range of pinks and greens.
November: Topaz or Citrine
Warm golden tones, and easy to wear.
December: Tanzanite, Zircon or Turquoise
Blues and violets to close out the year.
