December 31st is the last day for the months of October and November to be counted as Birthstone Month. The birthstones for this month are the Amethyst, Garnet, Peridot and the Ruby. The reason why this day is celebrated on this date is that it is when the stone Garnet was first found by man. The stone is green in color and is also known as “Gem of the Sky”. It represents hope, courage, happiness and love. In the ancient times, the stone was worn to protect the wearer against envy and fear so as to make them strong and to give them courage.
It is not always easy to choose a birthstone for your loved ones. But if you know your loved ones likes and dislikes, then there is no problem in picking the right one for her. It is always important to remember that the gem stone should have an overall significance to the wearer and that should guide the choice that you would make.
There are some tips to remember when picking a birthstone. If the wearer has dark hair then the gemstone should be light in color. Similarly, if the wearer is blonde, then the gemstone should be black or blue. Most importantly, if you are not sure about what kind of birthstone to get for your beloved, then you can just consult with the people that are close to her. These people will surely help you pick the right one.
