Birthstone Jewelry Guide: Pearls and Gemstones by Month

A birthstone is an easy way to make a jewelry gift feel personal. Here's a month-by-month guide, plus the pearls and gemstones from our collection that match.

Birthstones by Month

  • January: garnet
  • February: amethyst
  • March: aquamarine and bloodstone
  • April: diamond
  • May: emerald
  • June: pearl, moonstone and alexandrite
  • July: ruby
  • August: peridot, spinel and sardonyx
  • September: sapphire
  • October: opal and tourmaline
  • November: topaz and citrine
  • December: turquoise, tanzanite and zircon; blue topaz is also a popular choice

Birthstone lists vary slightly by source. The months above follow the most widely used modern list.

March: Aquamarine

Aquamarine's clear sea-blue color makes it a fresh, easy-to-wear birthstone. Our Deep Sea Tide bracelet set pairs aquamarine with lapis lazuli and freshwater seed pearls.

June: Pearl

June is the one month with an organic gemstone. Every pearl in our collection is a genuine cultured freshwater pearl, from the delicate seed pearl choker to the bold Large Baroque Pearl & Gemstone Bracelet.

August: Peridot

Peridot has a bright olive-green color. Our pearl necklace with citrine and peridot drops works for August or November birthdays.

October: Tourmaline

Tourmaline comes in many colors, including black. The Pure Radiance bracelet pairs black tourmaline with baroque, coin and seed pearls.

November: Citrine and Topaz

Golden citrine is a warm, cheerful November stone. Try the Golden Sunlight necklace, the Golden Bloom bracelet or the Sunlit Amber bracelet.

December: Blue Topaz

Blue topaz is a popular December choice. See the Ocean Tears bracelet and the Baroque Pearl & Blue Topaz bracelet.

Make It Personal

Many of our pieces include an optional engraved silver tag at no extra charge. Add a name, initials or a birth date, up to 10 characters. Natural gemstones vary slightly in color and cut, so each piece is a little different. Browse all birthday gifts.
