When you buy something as personal and valuable as a birthstone ring, it’s important to know exactly what to look for. This buyer’s guide will help you make the best purchase for your money.
The first thing to consider when buying a birthstone ring for men is the gemstones themselves. You want to choose ones that are solid in color and don’t have many inclusions. Moreover, you want to make sure that the gems are ethically sourced. In addition, you’ll also want to consider the price of the ring and whether or not it comes with any special features like anti-tarnish protection.
Most months have one or two birthstones associated with them, but some like March are blessed with more than just one. Aquamarine and bloodstone are both common choices for this month, but the calming blue tone of aquamarine makes it the preferred gem.
May’s birthstone is emerald and it’s a beautiful green gemstone that reminds us of spring and the promise of new life. However, emeralds are precious gems and can be quite expensive in jewelry. So, to avoid overpaying, some people choose high quality lab-created emeralds for their men’s rings instead.
Another popular stone for August birthstone rings is peridot. It’s a gorgeous lime green gemstone that’s a bit more affordable than ruby, which is usually seen in July birthstone rings. In order to save even more money, some jewelers use sardonyx or spinel in place of peridot in their masculine rings.
