Add Meaning to Necklaces with Birthstones
Jewelry has a powerful way of connecting us with the people we love. Whether it was a gift from someone special or something we wear in their memory, personalized Jewelry is a beautiful statement piece that simply means more.
One way to add meaning to Jewelry is by customizing a Necklace with Birthstones.
How Birthstones Add Meaning to Necklaces
Birthstones can add meaning to Necklaces in a few different ways: by representing a birth month, by making the Jewelry more colorful, or by symbolizing a certain trait.
Birthstones by Month
Each month of the year is represented by a specific Birthstone. Because of this, many people will choose to wear a Birthstone that correlates with the month their Loved One was born.
The Birthstones for each month are:
- January – Garnet
- February – Amethyst
- March – Aquamarine
- April – Diamond
- May – Emerald
- June – Alexandrite
- July – Ruby
- August – Peridot
- September – Sapphire
- October – Tourmaline
- November – Topaz
- December – Zircon
Birthstone Colors by Month
Every Birthstone is also associated with a specific color. These colors can symbolize the month itself, or simply a favorite shade. In fact, a lot of people choose to add different gemstones to their Necklaces just because they love the color.
The colors of each month’s Birthstone are:
- January – Deep Red
- February – Purple
- March – Light Blue
- April – Colorless
- May – Deep Green
- June – Soft Blue
- July – Vibrant Red
- August – Light Green
- September – Deep Blue
- October – Pink

Some gemstones can have different color appearances and may vary based on availability and the jeweler you are purchasing from.
