Baby Birthstones - Gems & Birth Months

Find your baby’s birthstone with our list of Modern, Traditional, and Mystical Birthstones for each month.

Itching to know what characteristics or personality traits your little one might grow up with? Their birthstone may just give you some clues.

Whether you believe in birthstones or not, the power of these gems, (and their cosmic connection to the months they represent), have been talked about for centuries. They are said to bring good luck to those born in their month, as well as impart a bevy of other energy and health benefits.

Gems have long been thought to pass on some of their positive properties to those born in their assigned month – and are even believed to pass on mystical properties in some instances! Positive benefits are meant to be amplified by wearing jewellery containing the birthstone.

Originally linked to astrological signs, the meanings of each birthstone have shifted over the years – as the church sought to downplay the connection to astrology, these gems are now commonly associated with the twelve different months of the calendar year, rather than star signs.
