Month and Birthstone	Uncut Gemstone	Gemstone Jewelry	Gregorian Birthstone Poem **
January-Garnet			By her who in January was born No gem save garnets shall be worn They will ensure her constancy True friendship and fidelity.
February-Amethyst			The February born shall find Sincerity and peace of mind, Freedom from passion and from care, If they, the amethyst will wear.
March-Aquamarine			By her who in March was born No gem save aquamarine shall be worn They will ensure her constancy True friendship and fidelity.
April-Diamond			She who from April dates her years, diamonds shall wear, lest bitter tears For vain repentance flow.
May-Emerald			Who first beholds the light of day In spring's sweet, flower month of May And wears an emerald all her life Shall be a loved and a loving wife.
June-Pearl			By her who in June was born No gem save pearls shall be worn They will ensure her constancy True friendship and fidelity.
July-Ruby			The gleaming ruby should adorn, All those who in July are born, For thus they'll be exempt and free, From lover's doubts and anxiety.
August-Peridot			Wear a peridot or for thee, No conjugal fidelity, The August born without this stone, `Tis said, must live unloved; alone.
September-Sapphire			A maiden born when autumn leaves Are rustling in September's breeze, A sapphire on her brow should bind; To bring her joy and peace of mind.
October-Opal			October's child is born for woe, And life's vicissitudes must know, But lay an opal on her breast, And hope will lull those woes to rest.
November-Citrine			Who first comes to this world below In dreary November's fog and snow, Should prize the citrine amber hue, Emblem of friends and lovers true.
December-Turquoise			If cold December gave you birth The month of snow and ice and mirth Place on your hand a turquoise blue; Success will bless whate'er you do.
