Every birth month and every zodiac sign mapped to its birthstone — plus the meaning, color, and best jewelry style for each.
Wondering 'what is my birthstone?' Use the month you were born — January is garnet, February is amethyst, March is aquamarine, April is diamond, May is emerald, June is alexandrite or pearl, July is ruby, August is peridot, September is sapphire, October is opal or tourmaline, November is topaz or citrine, and December is turquoise, tanzanite, or zircon.
By zodiac sign: Capricorn (garnet), Aquarius (amethyst), Pisces (aquamarine), Aries (diamond), Taurus (emerald), Gemini (alexandrite), Cancer (ruby), Leo (peridot), Virgo (sapphire), Libra (opal), Scorpio (topaz), Sagittarius (turquoise).
Once you know your stone, the next question is form factor: ring, necklace, bracelet, or earrings. Pendant necklaces are the easiest entry point because they're universally sized and visible every day.
