Summer is here, with a selection of birthstones to think about aesthetically and contextually as far as what they mean. For those looking to get summer jewelry, the two months break down to pearls, moonstones, and alexandrite for June and rubies, onyx, and turquoise for July.

September, like many months, has a much wider array of birthstones than one might imagine. However, September is alone in having six different birthstones! These include peridot, zircon, agate, moonstone, sardonyx, and perhaps the most popular, sapphire.
