Gemstones for Each Birth Month and What They Mean
Find the perfect thoughtful gift, or personalise your own look with meaningful birthstone jewellery. Birthstones are gemstones that are symbolically linked to different individuals, and believed to carry certain meanings and energies, based on the month you were born. With ancient roots in both Western and Eastern spiritual traditions, there are 12 gemstones linked to the 12 months of the year. These symbolic stones are also tied to the 12 zodiac signs; and in some cases, you might have your choice of two birthstones if your star sign overlaps a different month (you can also wear both gems). Read on to discover the birthstones by month and what they mean.
