Which birthstone corresponds to which month? A guide from BAUNAT
Since time immemorial, mankind has acknowledged the potent aura and expressiveness of precious stones. To unravel the mystery, we find references of birthstones in the Holy Scripture, with each gemstone symbolising the 12 tribes of Israel. Indeed, a specific birthstone is traditionally paired with each month of the year - a custom codified in 1912 by an American jewellery association. And even today, at BAUNAT, we see the trend of gifting birthstone jewellery thriving, as it carries a personal touch of love and thoughtfulness, beautifully unveiling natural beauty.
Read summary
What is the significance of birthstones and which one matches your birth month?
Birthstones have been meaningful symbols throughout history, dating back to biblical times when they represented the twelve tribes of Israel. In 1912, an American jewelry association formalized the tradition of matching specific gemstones to each month of the year. At BAUNAT, birthstone jewelry remains popular as a deeply personal gift option.
Each month has its designated stone with unique symbolism: January (garnet, fidelity), February (amethyst, piety), March (aquamarine, patience), April (diamond, eternal love), May (emerald, wisdom), June (moonstone, emotions), July (ruby, courage), August (peridot, confidence), September (sapphire, happiness), October (opal, spontaneity), November (citrine, vitality), and December (topaz, strength).
These gemstones make meaningful gifts for various occasions, especially engagements. BAUNAT specializes in creating bespoke birthstone jewelry paired with high-quality diamonds, offering both ready-made and custom-designed pieces crafted in Antwerp.
