What is a birthstone?
A birthstone is a gemstone tied to the month you were born, and the tradition runs deep — some trace it all the way back to the twelve stones of the breastplate of Aaron in the Book of Exodus. Each stone carries its own meaning and folklore, which is what makes birthstone jewelry feel so personal: it is chosen not by taste alone, but by who you are and when you arrived.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find my birthstone?
Your birthstone is determined by your birth month. Enter your birth date in the finder above to instantly reveal your birthstone, along with its meaning and matching jewelry. For example, those born in April have the diamond, while July belongs to the ruby.
Can you have more than one birthstone?
Yes. Several months have more than one traditional birthstone — June has pearl and alexandrite, October has opal and tourmaline, November has citrine and topaz, and December has turquoise, tanzanite and zircon. You can wear whichever speaks to you.
What is the difference between a birthstone and a birth flower?
A birthstone is the gemstone linked to your birth month, while a birth flower is the bloom associated with it. Both carry their own symbolism, and together they make a beautiful, deeply personal gift.
Are birthstones a good gift?
Birthstone jewelry is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give, because it is personal by design. A birthstone necklace or ring celebrates the person and the month they were born — perfect for birthdays, new mothers, or a piece that holds the birthstones of loved ones.
