Birthstones: the month-by-month gift guide
Birthstone jewellery is the safest personalised gift there is: every month has its stone, so choosing by birthday guarantees a personal gift without knowing the person's taste. The Koss Design birthstone collection includes twelve pairs of earrings (from €39.90), each made with Japanese Miyuki beads in the colours of the month's stone.
What is the birthstone for each month?
January, garnet — devotion and warmth, embodied by our Fiorina earrings. February, amethyst, the stone of calm — the Feurine earrings. March, aquamarine and the calm of the sea — the Marina earrings. April, diamond — clarity itself, with the Bianca earrings. May, emerald, the stone of renewal — the Helena earrings. June, alexandrite with its shifting reflections. July, ruby — passion and vitality. August, peridot, the stone of light. September, sapphire — wisdom and loyalty. October, pink tourmaline, the stone of tenderness. November, golden topaz — warmth and abundance. December, blue topaz, the serene blue of winter.
Why give birthstone earrings rather than classic jewellery?
A birthstone piece says you chose it for her specifically — her month, her colour, the meaning of her stone. It removes the two classic gift risks: size (earrings fit everyone) and taste (the month decides the palette). Every pair arrives in its Koss Design velvet pouch, ready to give.
What if you don't know her stone by heart?
Give by colour story. Warm, bright months (January garnet, July ruby, November topaz) for women who wear reds and golds. Calm, cool months (March aquamarine, September sapphire, December blue topaz) for minimalists. Green months (May emerald, August peridot): emerald green flatters every skin tone.
Pairing a birthstone with a bracelet
The most beautiful gift combination in our shop: birthstone earrings plus a bracelet set in the same tones — Helena (May) with the green Luna set , for example. See our complete gift guide by occasion and budget, or learn how to build a stack around her colour.
