Birthstones: Charms for Personalized Jewelry

Birthstone: A Piece of Jewelry with Meaning

Traditionally, each month of the year is associated with a birthstone. Incorporating it into a piece of jewelry gives it personal meaning—yours, or that of a child, a parent, or a friend. In this category, you’ll find birthstones to pair with your chains, necklaces, and bracelets.

A stone and a color for every month of the year

Our charms, pendants, and spacers are available for all 12 months, in colors that reflect the associated stone:

• January: Garnet (deep red)
• February: Amethyst (purple)
• March: Aquamarine (light blue)
• April: Diamond (crystal)
• May: Emerald (green)
• June: Moonstone (white)
• July: Ruby (red)
• August: Peridot (soft green)
• September: Sapphire (deep blue)
• October: Tourmaline (pink)
• November: Citrine/Topaz (yellow)
• December: Blue Topaz/Turquoise (blue)

Ideas for using your birthstone charms

Thanks to their built-in rings, these charms are easy to use and will slip right onto:

• A charm necklace: attach them to a thin gold chain, as shown in our tutorial for a birthstone charm necklace, which you can make in 30 minutes.
• A family heirloom: one charm for each of your loved ones’ birth months, for a bracelet or necklace that’s as symbolic as it is colorful.
• A layered necklace look: layer chains of different lengths, with a single stone on each.
• A birth or birthday gift: pair them with our ideas featuring birth flowers.
