A birthstone should fit how you live
01
Choose by color
Birthstones range from saturated ruby and sapphire to luminous pearl and opal. Start with the color you will enjoy wearing beyond the occasion.
02
Match your routine
Diamond, sapphire and ruby suit frequent wear especially well. Pearl, opal, moonstone and turquoise benefit from gentler handling.
03
Care for the setting
Cleaning needs depend on both gemstone and metal. Avoid one-size-fits-all methods when a stone is porous, included or sensitive to heat.
