Birthstones by Month: A Complete Guide
From January garnet to December tanzanite—find the stone tied to every month.
Birthstones make gifts personal. The modern list pairs each month with a stone: garnet for January, amethyst for February, aquamarine for March, diamond for April, emerald for May, and pearl or alexandrite for June.
The second half of the year brings ruby for July, peridot for August, sapphire for September, opal or tourmaline for October, topaz or citrine for November, and tanzanite, zircon, or turquoise for December.
If the traditional stone does not fit a budget or style, many months have alternatives with similar colors and meaning.
