Find your month. Explore your birthstone.
Start with your birth month, then browse the linked collection for individual stones, rough material and collector specimens. Compare each listing’s size, cut, treatment information and intended use before choosing. Availability varies by piece.
January · Garnet
Explore garnet in loose stones, rough material and mineral specimens. Look at each listing rather than choosing by colour alone.
Browse garnet →February · Amethyst
Begin with purple amethyst. For lapidary projects, compare rough parcels by their stated size and suitability for cutting.
Browse amethyst →March · Aquamarine
Explore aquamarine as a loose gemstone, rough parcel or crystal specimen. Check whether a listing suits jewellery, cutting or display.
Browse aquamarine →April · Diamond
Diamond is April’s birthstone. This card remains informational because a matching live shopping collection has not been verified for this guide.
May · Emerald
Browse loose emeralds for a green birthstone choice. Compare dimensions, clarity descriptions and treatment disclosures on the individual listings.
Browse loose emeralds →June · Pearl
Pearl appears in the chart below, with alexandrite and moonstone among June’s other birthstone choices. This card remains informational pending a verified matching collection.
July · Ruby
Compare loose rubies and ruby specimens. Read the listing carefully to distinguish a stone for setting from a crystal intended for display.
Browse ruby →August · Peridot
Explore green peridot in faceted stones, rough parcels and specimens. Check measurements when planning a jewellery setting.
Browse peridot →September · Sapphire
Browse sapphire beyond a single colour. Compare the stated colour, cut and form of each available stone or rough parcel.
Browse sapphire →October · Opal
Start with opal cabochons or rough material. Check care information and the individual listing’s description before choosing for jewellery.
Browse opal →November · Topaz
Explore topaz in loose stones and rough material. Compare colour, treatment information and measurements rather than assuming all topaz is alike.
Browse topaz →December · Blue-gemstone discoveries
Start with tanzanite for December, then explore the wider blue-gemstone collection for colour inspiration. Not every gemstone in that broader collection is a December birthstone.
Explore blue gemstones →Choose for personal interest, collecting or a specific project. A birthstone association does not guarantee a gemstone’s value or future resale price.
What is a birthstone?
Birthstones are intricately tied to the month of a person's birth and their Zodiac sign, each imbued with distinct meanings and significance. This fascination with birthstones permeates various aspects of society, with individuals eager to inquire about both others' and their own birthstones. In modern culture, birthstones hold considerable sway, often being incorporated into jewelry to symbolize one's birth month. For instance, those born in January are drawn to garnet, their designated birthstone, adorning themselves with jewelry featuring this precious gem.
What is the origin of birthstones?
The tradition of adorning jewelry that complements one's birthstone emerged in the 18th century, particularly in Europe, before gradually spreading to the USA. By the 19th century, this custom had gained widespread popularity.
Did you know birthstones date back to biblical times?
Learn the fascinating history →According to legend, in the 5th century, Christian scholars established a link between the twelve gems adorning the Breastplate of Aaron, the twelve months of the year, and the twelve signs of the zodiac. They believed that each gem corresponded to specific astrological alignments or months, and wearing the appropriate gem during its designated month would yield certain benefits.
