List of Birthstones
There have been many different sets of birthstones used throughout history and in different cultures. This is the list most commonly used nowadays:
1 January's Birthstone Garnet
2 February's Birthstone Amethyst
3 March's Birthstone Aquamarine
4 April's Birthstone Diamond
5 May's Birthstone Emerald
6 June's Birthstone Pearl
7 July's Birthstone Ruby
8 August's Birthstone Peridot
9 September's Birthstone Sapphire
10 October's Birthstone Opal
11 November's Birthstone Topaz
12 December's Birthstone Turquoise
The Traditional Birthstone list has some variations on the most common list. This shows some societal birthstone traditions, many going back to the 15th C. We have included it here so that people have a greater choice:
1 January - Garnet
2 February - Amethyst
3 March - Bloodstone
4 April - Diamond
5 May - Emerald
6 June - Moonstone
7 July - Ruby
8 August - Sardonyx
9 September - Sapphire
10 October - Tourmaline
11 November - Citrine
12 December - Turquoise
It might also be useful to remember that most stones in fact come in several colours. Garnet, for example, which is so often regarded as being simply red, is in fact also available in green, orange, yellow, white and purple – virtually every colour in the rainbow except blue. Thus one has the flexibility to exercise personal taste and still purchase a piece of fine jewellery that is historically and personally significant.
