Chances are when you think about your birthstone, the first thing that comes to mind is jewelry that was given to you by your aunt, grandma, or third-grade BFF. It's a cute idea — personalized jewelry that's not too personal — but often the designs leave us wanting something a little chicer.
So, we set out to find a little something special [1] to represent each month of the year. From delicate necklaces [2] to cool cuffs, these 12 pieces highlight the gorgeous gems that fall under each star sign. So whether you're shopping for yourself or you're in need of some gift inspiration, give these sparkling stunners a shot.
