Birthstone rings by month
January: Garnet
Worn by warriors
Garnets are a family of gemstones. The two best-known varieties are pyrope and almandine, both of which are red.
They were used in late 18th century ‘Bohemian’ jewels, in foil-backed settings.
Other varieties include golden hessonite and vivid orange spessartine. Green garnets include demantoids, first mined in Russia in 1868, and tsavorite.

February: Amethyst
Wine and royalty
The deep purple is due to a combination of iron and other metals within its crystal structure, and natural radiation.
The resulting hue is associated with royalty and wine, with amethyst thought to protect against intoxication.
Until the 18th century, amethysts rivalled sapphires, emeralds and rubies in value.

April: Diamond
View allRock-solid relationships
Diamond gets its name from the Greek 'adamas', meaning 'unconquerable'. It's so hard, it can only be cut with the help of another diamond.
Originally found in river beds, they were only mined from the late 1860s.
Diamonds are rated on the 4 Cs: color, clarity, cut and carat weight.

View allSymbol of rebirth
Now associated with youth and good fortune, emerald mining dates back to 1500 BC in Egypt.

August: Peridot
View allNight-time protection
Peridot is formed deep below ground and brought to the surface by volcanos - it's also arrived on earth via meteorite. It's associated with warding off nightmares and known as the evening emerald.
Naturally green, but sometimes with yellow or brown tints, it's an 'idiochromatic' stone and its colour is not due to chemical impurities, as with 'allochromatic' sapphire and ruby.

October: Opal
View allRare rainbows
Every opal has a pattern of its own. The iridescence is due to light interacting with a network of spherical silica structures.
Blue and green are most common with orange and red rarest. Patterns also vary - small flashes of 'pinfire' colour vs broad contrasting colours, known as harlequins.
Tourmaline is an alternative birthstone for Octover.
