Birthstone Jewelry: Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a birthstone?
A birthstone is a gemstone associated with each month of the year, believed to reflect the strengths and positive qualities of people born in that month. The modern birthstone list was established in 1912 and has been updated over the years. Wearing your birthstone is a meaningful way to celebrate your birth month, honor a loved one, or simply enjoy a gemstone whose color and symbolism resonate with you.
-
What are the birthstones for each month?
January is garnet, February is amethyst, March is aquamarine, April is diamond (or white sapphire or white topaz), May is emerald (or chrysoprase), June is alexandrite (or pearl), July is ruby, August is peridot, September is sapphire, October is tourmaline (or pink topaz), November is citrine, and December is zircon (or Swiss topaz or turquoise). Some months have multiple birthstone options, giving you more flexibility to choose a color or stone you love.
-
Can I wear a birthstone that isn't my birth month?
Absolutely. There are no rules about which birthstone you can wear. Many people choose gemstones based on color preference, personal meaning, or the birth months of loved ones like children or grandchildren. Our custom necklaces and charm collections make it easy to combine multiple birthstones into one meaningful piece.
-
What occasions are birthstone jewelry perfect for?
Birthstone jewelry makes a thoughtful gift for birthdays, Mother's Day, baby showers, push presents, graduations, anniversaries, and holiday gifting. A piece featuring a child's or grandchild's birthstone is especially meaningful for moms and grandmothers. It's also a beautiful way to mark a fresh start or celebrate a milestone.
-
What is the difference between natural and lab-grown gemstones?
Natural gemstones are mined from the earth and formed over millions of years, each with unique characteristics. Lab-grown gemstones are created in a controlled environment with the same chemical composition and appearance as natural stones. We use natural, ethically sourced gemstones in our birthstone jewelry, with lab-grown diamond accents available upon request.
-
Can I customize metal, length, or the exact stone?
Yes. Most styles offer recycled 14K yellow, white, or rose gold, as well as sterling silver, with multiple chain lengths and your choice of birthstones. Engraving is available on select pieces.
-
Are your gemstones ethically sourced?
We prioritize ethically sourced, natural gemstones and recycled metals. Lab-grown diamond accents are available upon request.
-
How quickly will my order ship?
Ready-to-ship pieces typically leave our studio within one business day. Made-to-order items usually ship in about two weeks. Tracking is provided when your piece is on its way.
-
What if I'm shopping for a gift?
Every order arrives in eco-friendly, gift-ready packaging. Add a note at checkout for a complimentary gift message.
-
How should I care for birthstone jewelry?
Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners. Wipe with a soft cloth; for a deeper clean, use mild soapy water and dry thoroughly. Store pieces separately to protect stones.
