I have worked with a jewelry company for more than five years. I know all about the different metals used in jewelry. I also had to learn how to identify precious stones. The most popular stones are birthstones. A necklace in silver or gold would look spectacular if studded with birthstones. The monthly birthstone colors would make the necklace fit for any outfit.

As we all know the monthly birthstone colors range from red to blue to green to violet. The red stones are Garnet for January and Ruby for July. The birthstone for February is Amethyst which usually comes in shades of violet, lavender and lilac. For people who were born in May and August, their birthstones are Emerald and Peridot respectively; these stones are both green. Those who love the color blue, you can get Turquoise – birth stone for December and Sapphire, the birthstone for September.
