The chart below explains birthstones by month and their features to help you choose or gift birthstone jewelry confidently.
This birthstone chart connects each month of the year to a specific gemstone, representing a person’s birth month. Birthstones are often linked to special meanings and qualities—and many people believe birthstones bring good luck, health, and protection. The tradition goes back to ancient times when gemstones were thought to have magical powers and connections to the zodiac. Over time, this idea changed to match certain gems with each month.
