Birthstone Gifts
Birthstone jewelry makes one of the most thoughtful gifts because it's personal by nature.

Browse all birthstone gift ideas or shop birthstone charms from $20 for a budget-friendly option.
Birthstones can also be worn by zodiac sign rather than birth month. Each sign has its own primary stone — and some overlap with the monthly birthstone calendar. Browse our full Zodiac Jewelry collection, or go directly to your sign: Aries · Pisces · Leo

back centuries.

Can I wear a birthstone that is not my birth month?
Yes. There are no rules about which birthstone you can wear. Many people
wear birthstones of loved ones (children, partners, parents), choose
stones based on color preference, or collect multiple birthstones.
Birthstone charms are especially popular for building personalized
stacks with multiple family members' stones.
What is the most durable birthstone?
Diamond (Mohs 10) is the hardest, followed by ruby and sapphire (both
Mohs 9). Topaz scores an 8. Most other birthstones fall between 6.5 and
7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. All birthstones are suitable for jewelry
with appropriate care and settings.
Can I customize birthstone jewelry?
Yes. Through GemBar, you can design custom birthstone jewelry by
choosing your gemstone, metal, chain length or band width, and adding
engraving. Build a mother's necklace with multiple birthstones or a
personalized charm stack.
Is birthstone jewelry a good gift?
Yes. Birthstone jewelry is one of the most personal gifts because it
connects to the recipient's birth month. At Erin Gallagher Jewelry,
every piece is handcrafted in Colorado, ships gift-ready in eco-friendly
packaging, and orders over $150 include free U.S. shipping.
