Do you know your birthstone? Most people do, but did you know that there are alternate stones for several months? Not only that, but there is also a stone for each anniversary year. Why not surprise your loved one this year with a special piece of jewelry custom made especially for her (or him)! Nothing says it like jewelry and custom jewelry says it better than anything else!

ANNIVERSARY GEMSTONE CHART
Here is a poem, the first publishing of which was by Tiffany and Company in 1870. Gregorian Birthstone Poems
~
By her who in January was born
No gem save garnets shall be worn
They will ensure her constancy
True friendship and fidelity.
~
The February born shall find
Sincerity and peace of mind,
Freedom from passion and from care,
If they, the amethyst will wear.
~
By her who in March was born
No gem save bloodstone shall be worn
They will ensure her constancy
True friendship and fidelity.
~
She who from April dates her years,
diamonds shall wear,
lest bitter tears
For vain repentance flow.
~
Who first beholds the light of day
In spring’s sweet, flower month of May
And wears an emerald all her life
Shall be a loved and a loving wife.
~
By her who in June was born
No gem save pearls shall be worn
They will ensure her constancy
True friendship and fidelity.
~
The gleaming ruby should adorn,
All those who in July are born,
For thus they’ll be exempt and free,
From lover’s doubts and anxiety.
~
Wear a peridot or for thee,
No conjugal fidelity,
The August born without this stone,
`Tis said, must live unloved; alone.
~
A maiden born when autumn leaves
Are rustling in September’s breeze,
A sapphire on her brow should bind;
To bring her joy and peace of mind.
~
October’s child is born for woe,
And life’s vicissitudes must know,
But lay an opal on her breast,
And hope will lull those woes to rest.
~
Who first comes to this world below
In dreary November’s fog and snow,
Should prize the topaz amber hue,
Emblem of friends and lovers true.
~
If cold December gave you birth
The month of snow and ice and mirth
Place on your hand a turquoise blue;
Success will bless whate’er you do.
