Lovely Lessons: Birthstones vs. Zodiac

Hello My Lovelies,

I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Weekend and spent plenty of time with family and friends! I'm currently trying not to get sick so I can be ready for my CAMPING TRIP this weekend with my dear friend and about 80 new friends.

 Anyway, back to the topic at hand. It came to my attention that some people are unaware of what their birthstone is and that your birthstone corresponds with the month of your birth and not your zodiac sign so I'm here to help.

Today's Lovely Lesson is Birthstones vs. Zodiac

I am a very proud April baby. Since my birthday is on April 12th I fall under the zodiac sign of Aries. Aries start the cycle of the zodiac and are born between March 21st and April 19th. There are a total of 12 zodiac signs just like the calendar but these follow the path of the sun in 30 degree blocks. I don't want to get too deep into it but the point is there is a difference between the two.

 Although two months share the same zodiac each month has its own Birthstone. April's birthstone is the Diamond while March's birthstone is Aquamarine or Bloodstone.

Below are two birthstone charts. You'll notice that some months have multiple stones. In my designs I pick the stone that goes best with the combination for each necklace.

I hope these charts educated you and also helped you envision what your Family Tree necklace or Baby Girl's First Pearls will look like.

Have a wonderful Tuesday and I'll talk to you soon!

P.S You're Lovely
