MARKING MOMENTS
By Andi Ingalls
Birthstone Beauties Show them your true colors! Whether aquamarine represents the March birth of your first child or peridot brings out the green in your eyes, the stones you choose, and the stories they tell, are all yours. Each month delivers a fresh hue and a new reason to stack, mix, and wear them your way. Here’s your month-by-month guide to birthstones that sparkle with personal style and timeless beauty.
JANUARY — Garnet Deep, dramatic, and a little mysterious, garnet’s rich red hue turns up the heat in the coldest month. It symbolizes protection and strength, but mostly it just looks really good in gold. FEBRUARY — Amethyst Purple reigns with the amethyst: regal, serene, and seriously eye-catching. Once favored by royalty, this dreamy quartz brings a pop of color and a touch of calm to your jewelry box. MARCH — Aquamarine As cool and clear as a tropical tide, aquamarine captures the easy elegance of early spring. This pale blue beauty is perfect for stacking or standing alone with breezy sophistication.
JUNE — Pearl Elegant, timeless, and effortlessly cool, pearls bring a soft glow and subtle charm to summer style. Whether classic white or a modern hue, pearls are always a polished choice.
SEPTEMBER — Sapphire True blue never goes out of style. Sapphire brings depth, drama, and a dash of mystique to everything it touches. It’s the cool classic your jewelry box deserves. OCTOBER — Opal Soft white with a kaleidoscope of hidden color, opal is October’s ethereal surprise. No two are alike, and that’s exactly the point. Whimsical, artistic, and one of a kind. NOVEMBER — Topaz Available in a rainbow of shades but best known for golden honey tones, topaz glows with richness and warmth. It’s a versatile gem that transitions beautifully from day to night.
JULY — Ruby Fiery, bold, and full of passion, ruby doesn’t whisper, it makes a statement. The perfect red for summer nights and confident moments. Hot month, hotter stone. AUGUST — Peridot Fresh and zesty, peridot adds a citrusy spark to any jewelry story. This bright green gem is like sunshine in stone form: playful, punchy, and surprisingly versatile.
APRIL — Diamond Classic, brilliant, and undeniably luxe, the diamond is April’s sparkling star. Whether you go big or layer delicate accents, there’s no wrong way to wear a little forever.
DECEMBER — Tanzanite
A rare gem with a velvety violet-blue hue, tanzanite brings an air of sophistication to winter’s sparkle. Discovered only in Tanzania, it’s as unique as it is beautiful.
MAY — Emerald Lush, vibrant, and full of life, emerald is the ultimate green dream. Its rich hue has long symbolized renewal and love. We just call it chic with a side of drama.
