Birthstones
Birthstones are colored gems assigned according to one of the 12 months in the year. The Bella Photo Jewelry line carries all 12 traditional birthstones and 2 optional gems - black onyx and fresh water pearl.
When chosing gems for your necklace, many people will go with birthstones as a traditional option, that coinsides with year of birth the recipient of the gift was born in. Where there are several options to choose from, people will often use children, grandchildren or spouse and recipient’s birthstones. This is a very personal choice - and is not “set in stone” (no pun intended!).
You can feel free to choose any stones based on your own color preferences. If you are interested in carrying on a tradition or intending your Bella Photo Jewelry necklace to showcase birthstones with your photograph, here’s a quick reference for birthstones and coordinating months.
