Reading the colors

Birthstone colors vary within many gemstone families. A month with several stones offers more than one palette, and a color alone cannot identify a gem.

Choose a month in the chart to read its individual guide, or return to Birthstone by Month for the illustrated cards. For a birthday gift, explore November birthstone jewelry or December birthstone jewelry.
