April – Diamond
Born in April, your birthstone is diamond. Diamonds are a traditional symbol of stability and strength, making them an appropriate cubic zirconia for those born in April. However, given its high value, many jewelers don’t offer diamonds as an April birthstone—instead they give customers emeralds or aquamarines instead. While these gems are certainly beautiful, they’re no substitute for diamonds! If you’re interested in wearing a diamond as your April birthstone, consider choosing from one of our loose gemstones—you can even choose a different stone for each finger! Or, if you prefer something with more sparkle than a single large stone, we also have birthstone bracelets featuring multiple small diamonds.
If you’re looking to wear some jewelry featuring your birth month’s birthstone (or if you just want to know what that might be), here’s a handy list:
May – Emerald
Emeralds are said to bring luck and good fortune. Because they were once reserved for royalty, emeralds represent stability and harmony. The color of spring, emerald also symbolizes new beginnings. May’s birthstone is perfect for those seeking inner peace – or just a bit of green in their pockets! Green gemstones like emerald can be associated with healing, prosperity, and fertility. They’re thought to promote creativity and love as well as giving an overall sense of happiness and well-being. Emerald is also known as a fertility stone so women may choose it to help boost their chances of getting pregnant – particularly around ovulation time when conception is most likely.
June – Pearl
The pearl is also known as a symbol of modesty and purity. The pure white surface of pearls represents innocence and modesty. So if you are born in June, pearl will protect you from evil eye and bring lots of fortune to your life. Pearls have long been a part of jewelry for centuries, but they weren’t used just for looks.

August – Peridot
This stone not only reminds us of August’s birthstone, but is a calming stone that helps people in high stress jobs. It can also help people who are overly emotional to find happiness and balance. In Greek, Peridot means unwearable, which seems strange since it has been used in jewelry for thousands of years. The value and use of Peridot dates back to ancient times when they were considered one of three sacred stones (along with topaz and jasper). They are all thought to have healing properties as well as represent faithfulness, purity, health, joy, long life and hope.
September – Sapphire
The September birthstone is sapphire, a variety of corundum with a beautiful blue color. According to an old English folklore superstition, if you dream of finding or wearing sapphires it means you’ll have good luck and happiness for that day. Another interesting thing about sapphires is that many people consider them to be lucky stones – and they’re certainly pretty. Whether or not you choose to believe in their supposed power over dreams and fortunes, they certainly add some sparkle to your birthday month!
October – Opal
Opals have long been known as birthstone for those born in October. If you want to use a more rare stone for your month, consider moonstone, which is considered to be more powerful and beneficial than opal. Both are beautiful stones though, especially when set in silver or gold jewelry. Some opals can actually change color depending on how they are viewed; that’s where moonstones come in handy because they reflect light from every angle like a mirror so there isn’t really a wrong way to view them. Whether you prefer opal or moonstone, both make for beautiful and meaningful birthstones for anyone born in October.
November – Topaz
The birthstone for November is topaz, and what better way to harness its positive energy than by wearing it every day? Topaz is associated with creativity, generosity, understanding, stability and good health. The December birthstone is zircon, which has similar properties to topaz. However, topaz comes in a wider range of colors—from deep gold to vibrant pink to sky blue—which makes it a great choice if you love color or want something that won’t clash with your wardrobe. You can also carry around a little piece of your birth month stone with you by using an engraved charm. Birthstones are considered especially lucky when they match your astrological sign as well as your date of birth!
December – Turquoise
Turquoise is a traditional birthstone for those born in December. Its popularity can be traced back to ancient times, when turquoise was thought to protect against evil spirits and bring good luck. If you were born in December, don’t worry if you haven’t given much thought to buying yourself a turquoise piece of jewelry.
