Birthstone Finder — Monthly Gemstones & Their Meanings
Birthstones are gemstones traditionally associated with each month of the year. The modern birthstone list was standardized by the American National Association of Jewelers in 1912, with later additions (alexandrite, tanzanite, spinel). The Mohs Hardness Scale (1–10) measures scratch resistance: diamond (10) is hardest; gemstones above 7 are suitable for everyday jewelry. Birthstones have been associated with healing, protection, and astrological influence for thousands of years across many cultures. The Romans, Greeks, and ancient Hebrews all had versions of gemstone-month associations. Whether chosen for jewelry, meditation, or gift-giving, birthstones remain among the most popular personalized gifts worldwide.
