Birthstones are gemstones that are associated with a person's birth month. They are believed to have special properties or powers that can bring good luck, health, and prosperity to the wearer (but we just think they're pretty!).

Some people choose to wear birthstones as jewelry, such as rings or necklaces, as a way to connect with their birth month and the qualities it represents. Some people also choose to give birthstones as gifts to loved ones, as a way to celebrate their birth month and show them that they are loved and cherished. Birthstones are not only special because of the perceived powers they hold, but also because they are a personal and meaningful way to connect with the beauty and significance of birth months.

Here are the traditional birthstones and the months they are associated with:

January: Garnet
February: Amethyst
March: Aquamarine or Bloodstone
April: Diamond
May: Emerald
June: Pearl, Moonstone, or Alexandrite
July: Ruby
August: Peridot or Sardonyx
September: Sapphire
October: Opal or Tourmaline
November: Topaz or Citrine
December: Turquoise, Zircon, or Tanzanite.
