Birthstones By Month
For historical, national and commercial reasons there are actually more than twelve traditional birthstones covering the months of the year, with the actual number depending on the Birthstones List that you choose to use. BigBeadLittleBead makes use of the Official British Birthstones List, but our comprehensive Birthstones Guide also provides the Official American Birthstones List, as well as indicating whether each birthstone bead or gemstone is a Traditional Birthstone, an Alternative Birthstone, or a Modern Birthstone. This Guide to Birthstones also provides birthstone colours and birthstone meanings, as well as a Day of the Week Birthstones List!
