It can be challenging to get a great gift idea for a great friend, But one of the easiest ways to narrow down the choices in a gift is to look up the recipients birthstone and color. While there is some disagreement as to the exact gems, this chart is pretty well accepted:
January – Garnet (deep red)
February – Amethyst (lavender)
March – Aquamarine (light blue)
April – Diamond (clear)
May – Emerald (deep green)
June – Smoky Quartz (grayish brown)
July – Ruby (red)
August – Peridot (green)
September – Sapphire (blue)
October – Pink Tourmaline (light pink)
November – Citrine (yellow)
December – Blue Topaz (teal)
Most artisans are familiar with this chart as well and if they don’t have ready made goods available in these colors/gems, many will be happy to fill a custom order.
