Do birthstones go by day or by month?

The modern US list goes by calendar month, so everyone born in the same month shares the same stones. Some months have two or three to choose from. There is also an older tradition of stones linked to star signs, but the lists vary and our sources do not set one, so we do not publish it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I wear a birthstone that is not mine?

Of course. Birthstones are a tradition, not a rule. Many people choose the alternative stone for their month, or a family member's stone.

What if I was born on the first or last day of a month?

The list goes by calendar month, so the stone is the one for the month on your birth certificate.
