Birthstones are gemstones that correspond to a person’s birth month, believed to bring good luck, protection, and personal meaning. At Sapphire Pal, we ethically source a wide range of natural gemstones, including many traditional and unique birthstone alternatives.

🌸 January – Garnet

Symbolizing protection and strength, Garnet is perfect for those born in January. Our garnets come in deep red, orange, and rare green tones.

💜 February – Amethyst

Amethyst promotes clarity and calm. While not a sapphire, it pairs beautifully with our Purple Sapphires for a regal alternative.

🌊 March – Aquamarine

Symbolic of serenity and the sea, aquamarine is often substituted with icy-blue Blue Sapphires or colorless White Sapphires.

🌿 April – Diamond

For those seeking ethical alternatives to diamonds, White Sapphires and Colourless Sapphires are excellent substitutes with natural brilliance and durability.

💚 May – Emerald

Known for growth and rebirth, emeralds can be ethically complemented with Green Sapphires from Australia and Ceylon.

☀️ June – Alexandrite / Pearl / Moonstone

While rare alexandrite changes color under light, Parti Sapphires offer a similar unique play of color with natural origins.

🔥 July – Ruby

Associated with passion and vitality. Did you know Rubies and Sapphires are both corundum? Discover our deep red sapphire options here.

🌻 August – Peridot

Symbolizing warmth and confidence, peridot is a rare stone. For durability, explore our Yellow or Green Sapphires as lasting alternatives.

💙 September – Sapphire

🍁 October – Opal / Tourmaline

Opal’s play of color is mesmerizing. For everyday wear, consider Parti or Pink Sapphires for that vibrant touch.
