What is the difference between modern and traditional birthstones?
The modern birthstones are the Jewelers of America list, set in 1912 and updated in 1952, 2002 and 2016 — the one most US jewelers follow. Traditional birthstones are older pairings that sometimes differ, such as bloodstone for March or sardonyx for August.
What is my birth flower?
Each month has a primary birth flower and a regional alternate: January carnation, February violet, March daffodil, April daisy, May lily of the valley, June rose, July larkspur, August gladiolus, September aster, October marigold, November chrysanthemum, December narcissus.
Is the birthstone based on my zodiac sign or my birth month?
The common birthstone list goes by calendar month, not zodiac sign. Every month covers two sun signs, so your month stone and your sun-sign stone can be different gems. This page gives you the month stone and flower, plus your sun sign.
