Birthstone necklaces by month: what we have for each birthday
Every month from January to December has an AJLuxe infinity birthstone necklace in stock, 13 to 19 of each. The stones are simulated or lab-created, as each product page says, set on a 925 sterling silver chain. Traditional stones in the table come from a gemological institute's birthstone list; where it lists more than one for a month, the necklace represents one of them.

|---|---|---|---|
| January | Garnet | Garnet red infinity pendant | $59.99 |
| February | Amethyst | Amethyst purple infinity pendant | $59.99 |

What about October birthdays?
October is the month with the most caveats, so read this before you order. The October piece is listed under its own name rather than the month-and-stone naming of the others: a pink cubic zirconia pave infinity pendant with a clear CZ center, chosen to represent tourmaline, not a mined stone. We do not have an opal infinity necklace. If she is an October birthday and prefers opal, the birthstone charm necklace has an opal option, but only 2 remain, and the birthstone studs have an October tourmaline option, 3 remain. See October birthstone jewelry.
Which birthday necklace works if you do not know her birth month?
An initial necklace is the safest personal choice when you do not know the month. The heart initial necklace comes in any letter A to Z; its base is 316L stainless steel with 18K gold plating (not sterling silver), and because it is personalized it is final sale, so double check the letter. The initial tag necklace costs less and has a 925 sterling silver base with 18K gold plating, but only 0 to 2 of each letter remain. Letters can be a first name, a child's initial or a partner's. Browse initial and letter necklaces and personalized jewelry.
Are earrings a good birthday gift?
Studs are one of the easiest birthday gifts because there is no ring size and no chain length to get wrong. The CZ studs come in five sizes, 3mm to 7mm, on a 925 sterling silver post; the CZ is a simulated stone, not a diamond. The birthstone studs add a birth month for $27.99, with 3 per month, so they run out quickly. She needs pierced ears for either pair.

What we do not sell, and the return rule
We do not sell solid gold, real gemstone birthstones or real diamonds: the birthstone and CZ stones are simulated or lab-created, and gold pieces are plated. Plating wears faster with water and perfume, so recommend she puts her jewelry on last. Gold jewelry is also the modern gift for a 14th wedding anniversary: see our 14th anniversary gift ideas. Returns: 30 days, unworn, in original packaging, and return shipping is free. Initial and personalized pieces are final sale.
