Lot 251: JANUARY/GARNET: spheres of garnet trefoil form a cluster affixed with a diamond fly, from the late 1800s. This pendant is a great alternative for those who love antique jewelry, yet still want something to commemorate their January birthstone.
Lot 96: FEBRUARY/AMETHYST: a dainty pendant with amethysts of all shapes–a round, ovals, and one pear shape! The pearls add to the femininity of the piece and it can be hung from a short or long chain.
Lot 222: MARCH/AQUAMARINE: a big ocean blue sparkler for those bold March babies, with this aquamarine and diamond ring. The saturation of color on this one is remarkable!
Lot 382: APRIL/DIAMOND: this openwork, with a geometric design, and suspended diamonds, is a gorgeous necklace–the perfect silhouette for an April baby.
Lot 345: MAY/EMERALD: a pair of stunningly gorgeous foil-back emerald and diamond ear pendants. I love the uniqueness of the hexagonal cut emeralds, truly different and a must-have for a May birthday.
Lot 108: JUNE/PEARL: a late 19th Century stunner, this necklace features split pearls in a fringe style. Would be pretty in any season, whether paired in the summertime with a dress or in the winter layered on top of a draped sweater.
Lot 551: JULY/RUBY: French cut rubies are the main focus on this ring, perfect for the July baby who just wants some subtle punch of red in her wardrobe. The diamond is not to be missed, as well (about a half carat).
Lot 558: AUGUST/PERIDOT: double trouble, with Peridot on one end and Tourmaline on the other! This ring is quite charming and not your average August birthstone kind of jewelry.
Lot 53: SEPTEMBER/SAPPHIRE: a 9k yellow gold, retro belt bracelet set with sapphires and pearls. With mesh totally being on trend right now, this bracelet is a great addition to any stack. Maybe even try wearing it higher up on your upper arm for a fashionable look.
Lot 65: OCTOBER/OPAL: a cute cluster ring set with a fiery black opal and surrounded by diamonds. If you are an October baby, and want a bold opal with a lot of fire, look no further!
Lot 5: NOVEMBER/CITRINE: double hearts of citrine, crowned by pearls, this brooch is amazing. As a November baby, you can transition this piece from a brooch to a pendant as the seasons change.
Lot 245: DECEMBER/TURQUOISE: such a beautiful design, circular links made of turquoise clasped together by ruby/pearl spacers. Any December baby would not be disappointed.

I love the sapphire because it is my birthstone and I want to add one more awesome sapphire in my existing collection. I really liked you information about sapphire.

I was born in August and I had no idea about the existence of peridot until I read this
