Every calendar month has a specific gemstone that serves as a brithstone dedicated to those born during that month. It’s common believe that these gems are lucky.

Birthstones are not only considered to be good fortune but it’s also said that they have specific meanings often reflecting a personality trait of the holder.

Here is a table of the birthstones for each month including the individual meaning according to the Jewelry Industry Council in New York City:

For a truly personalized and thoughtful gift like an engagement ring there is nothing better than birthstone jewelry. Whether it’s their own unique birthstone, a sweetheart’s ring featuring the birthstones of both partners or a piece of jewelry featuring gemstones that coordinate with the children’s birthdates, a gift that personalized shows a lot of creativity.

But it can be quite difficult to find birthstone jewelry, especially if you are low on budget. Among the gemstones are some of the most precious and rare of all gems like diamond, ruby, emerald and sapphire. If you cannot find cheap birthstone jewelry online you could opt for a synthetic gemstone. They will look just like the real thing but without the hefty price tag of the originals. Cubic zirconia for example can replicate a genuine diamond or a host of other gemstones and is the most popular synthetic gem. And cubic zirconia jewelry is a great gift idea in general.

It is important to note that you can give pieces of birthstone jewelry on dates other than an acutal birthday. It might be known as a birthstone, but why not make it a special gift for Valentine’s Day, Easter or Christmas? Or just let someone know that you are thinking of him or her?

When you are presenting the gift you could mention it’s meaning and explain that it is his or her birthstone. They definitely be touched by the effort you put into your selection and treasure it for years to come.
