The Meaning Behind Birthstones, Month by Month
Discover the birthstone for every month, the meaning behind each gem, and how to turn your birthstone into a piece of jewelry you will treasure.
Birthstones turn a piece of jewelry into something deeply personal. Each month is linked to a gem carrying its own history and symbolism, making birthstone jewelry a favorite choice for meaningful gifts and self-celebration alike.
The winter months shine cool and clear: garnet for January, amethyst for February, aquamarine for March, and the brilliant diamond for April. Spring and summer warm up with emerald in May, pearl or moonstone in June, ruby in July, and peridot in August.
As the year turns, autumn brings sapphire for September, opal or tourmaline for October, golden citrine or topaz for November, and turquoise or tanzanite to close out December. Turquoise, in particular, holds special meaning in Mexican craftsmanship and appears throughout our collections.
A birthstone piece is a wonderful way to honor a birthday, a child, or a milestone. At möA you can incorporate your stone into a custom ring, pendant, or pair of earrings, so the color you carry means something every time you wear it.
