When searching for the perfect birthday gift, many opt for something personal to the recipient to ensure they're gifting an item to be treasured.

Gloriously rich and bursting with pigment, garnet is linked to those born in the first month of the year due to being revered as the stone of prosperity and good health. Typically a deep claret-red, the stone is thought to symbolise strong bonds and everlasting friendship.

Diamond
A timeless, stylish stone with both visual and emotional impact, diamond is believed to provide the wearer with an increased inner strength. Crystal is often used as a more attainable alternative.

What is the birthstone for May?
Emerald
Classically associated with the rich green stone emerald, May's birthstone is nearly always a gorgeous green. Deep green jade is also connected with May due to its similarities to emerald, and both evoke rebirth and renewal, as well as promoting general wellbeing.
What is the birthstone for June?
Pearl
Bright white and beautiful in any light, pearls have long been a symbol of innocence and purity. Tied to female strength and power, pearl is the stone associated with the zodiac sign Gemini, which is why it is commonly linked to the month of June.
What is the birthstone for July?
Ruby
This gorgeous pink-red stone is believed to symbolise love and commitment. With a name derived from the Latin word ‘ruber’ - meaning ‘red’ - ruby is often connected with passion and romantic relationships.
What is the birthstone for August?
Peridot
Strongly linked to the stone peridot, August is usually associated with a bright and beautiful earth-green stone. Peridot is known for being formed under extreme conditions and comes from the lava deep within Earth's mantle, making it the perfect powerful stone for August-born wearers.
What is the birthstone for September?
Sapphire
September is the beginning of the poetically romantic autumnal season. This makes it commonly associated with a stone believed to represent loyalty and love. While sapphire is the common choice for September birthstones, purple agate is often used due to its similar rich blue tones.
What is the birthstone for October?
Opal
Celebrated as the birthstone for October, opal is a strikingly beautiful milky white or pale blue stone. Similar to opal, moonstone has a cloudy galaxy-like complexion. Both stones are thought to be symbols of purity, hope and truth, and believed to bestow the gift of protection upon the wearer.
What is the birthstone for November?
Topaz
November is often associated with stones such as topaz, citrine, and sunstone. In a variety of different shades, these stones display gloriously rich yellow and orange hues. November's birthstone is believed to have calming energies as well as bringing warmth to the wearer, necessary for the beginning of the colder season.
What is the birthstone for December?
Turquoise
Another month with a few stone options, December is often associated with striking blue stones due to its connection with the cold of winter. As well as lapis lazuli, zircon, and tanzanite, December is linked to the stone turquoise, known for its healing and balancing properties, ideal for providing inner peace.
