Birthstone Colors by Month (2026 Chart) | Birthstone Chart & Colors Guide
Your birthstone has a color — and the color is the part you actually wear. This page is a complete birthstone chart, month by month, built for color-first shopping: find your month, meet its traditional birthstone and color, and see how to wear that color in handmade Czech glass jewelry.
One honest note up front: CSOMALL makes handmade glass-bead jewelry. We do not sell real gemstones, and nothing on this page is a real garnet, ruby, sapphire, or diamond. What we offer is your month’s color, captured in hand-assembled Czech glass beads — Wear a Little Wonder, in the color that belongs to your month.

How to Pick a Birthstone-Color Gift
Start with the recipient’s birth month and its color — that’s the most personal choice. If their month’s color isn’t their style, pick their favorite color instead: the whole color-first idea is that the shade you love is the right shade to wear.
Our Gifts for Women collection is made for exactly this kind of browsing by color and occasion, and everything in Gifts Under $50 keeps thoughtful gifting simple.
Birthstone Colors FAQ
Is this real birthstone jewelry?
No — and we don’t present it as such. CSOMALL jewelry is handmade from Czech glass beads, colored to match your birthstone’s color. If you want actual gemstones, a traditional jeweler is the right place; if you want your month’s color in lightweight, everyday handmade jewelry, that’s what we do.
Are these the official birthstone colors?
We follow the widely used modern birthstone list (garnet for January through turquoise for December). British and traditional lists swap a few stones, but the colors stay close — which is exactly why a color-first approach works.
Can I wear a different month’s color?
Absolutely. Plenty of people wear their favorite color rather than their birth month’s. The color-first idea says: wear the shade that makes you feel like you.
How do I choose a birthstone-color gift for her?
The recipient’s birth month is the most personal starting point. Beyond that, think about what she actually wears: lightweight glass dangles for everyday, a statement pair for evenings. When in doubt, her favorite color beats the “correct” stone.
Does glass jewelry look like real gemstones?
Not the same — and we don’t claim it is. Handmade glass has its own depth, shine, and hand-finished character. What you get is honest craftsmanship at an accessible price, in exactly your month’s color.
How do I care for Czech glass bead jewelry?
Keep it dry, wipe gently with a soft cloth, and store pieces separately so beads don’t scratch each other. Treated well, handmade glass jewelry keeps its color for years.
