January is associated with Garnet, February with Amethyst, March with Aquamarine, April with Rock Crystal, May with Emerald, June with Moonstone, July with Carnelian, August with Peridot, September with Lapis Lazuli, October with Tourmaline, November with Citrine, and December with Turquoise. You can also choose a stone based on your astrological sign or personal preferences.

The two approaches are complementary. Birthstones are based on the calendar month — each month has its stone. Astrological sign stones, on the other hand, align with the zodiac signs, which span two months. Since each sign is associated with one or two months, you can generally wear its birthstone, or the stone of the preceding or following sign, depending on your preferences. Our correspondence table above will help you choose.

Yes, it's even one of the most symbolic birth gifts. Choose the birthstone of the child's birth month, and opt for a delicate bracelet or locket.

A birthstone can be worn as an ordinary piece of jewelry — a ring, bracelet, necklace, or earrings.

Natural crystal are living and require a little attention. Avoid all contact with chemicals (perfume, cosmetics, household products). Clean them with a soft, dry cloth. To recharge them energetically, some stones appreciate exposure to moonlight or a clear water bath—each stone has its preferences, which you will find in our wellness guides.

Absolutely, and it's even one of the most beautiful ways to give a birthstone piece of jewelry. You can combine the stones of a mother and her child, a couple, or several family members. It's a very personal gift, bringing together the energies of each person in a single object to wear close to them.

Lithotherapy attributes symbolic and energetic virtues to each crystal, passed down through healing traditions since antiquity. These bnefits are part of a complementary approach to well-being and do not replace medical advice. What is certain is that a birthstone carries a strong symbolic dimension — and that wearing a piece of jewelry with intention nourishes one's relationship with oneself.

If the occasion is not an anniversary, you can choose a crystal based on the virtues you wish to convey. Rose Quartz for love, Amethyst for appeasement, Citrine for joy of life, Lapis Lazuli for wisdom… Each stone carries its own intention.
