Birthstone Charms by Month: The Complete Guide

Birthstone charms are solid-gold charms set with the gemstone for a given month — January garnet, February amethyst, March aquamarine, and so on — made to add to a necklace or bracelet so you can carry the people you love close. At Alya Stone every birthstone charm comes in solid 9k gold, in two styles, with a stone for all twelve months. This guide shows you the charm, the stone and the price for each month, plus how to choose and wear them.

Two birthstone charm styles

We make each month in two lines, so you can match the look you love:

• Aster — a vintage-inspired charm with a ribbed gold frame around a single gemstone. Quietly classic. From HK$1,980.
• Ellis — a pavé-set charm where the stone sits within fine detailing. A little more sparkle. From HK$1,780.

Both are made to order in solid 9k recycled gold — never plated — and the precious stones (alexandrite, ruby, emerald, sapphire and diamond) are lab grown for consistent colour. Want the meaning and symbolism behind each stone? Read our Birthstones by Month guide. This page is about choosing the charm.

How to choose your birthstone charm

Three quick ways to decide:

• By birthday — the obvious, most personal choice: one charm per person, their month, their stone.
• By colour — if you are building a palette, let the stones lead. Reds (garnet, ruby), blues (aquamarine, sapphire, topaz), greens (emerald, peridot), or a mix.
• By style — choose Aster for a vintage ribbed frame, or Ellis for pavé sparkle. They layer happily together, too.

How to wear & gift birthstone charms

Birthstone charms are built for the Curation Suite: choose a chain, then add the charms that matter. One stone is a personal everyday piece; several become a family-birthstone necklace, a charm for each child, partner or parent. New to building one? Our guide to building a charm necklace walks through bases, balance and layering. A single birthstone charm is also one of the easiest meaningful gifts — a birthday, a new baby, a milestone.

Birthstone charms FAQ

What is a birthstone charm?

A birthstone charm is a small solid-gold charm set with the gemstone for a particular month, designed to add to a necklace or bracelet. It is a personal way to represent yourself or someone you love.

What is the difference between the Aster and Ellis charms?

Aster charms have a vintage-inspired ribbed gold frame around a single stone; Ellis charms are pavé-set for a little more sparkle. Both come in all twelve months and the same solid 9k gold, so they mix well.

Are the birthstones real?

Yes. The precious stones — alexandrite, ruby, emerald, sapphire and diamond — are lab grown, with the same chemistry and colour as mined gems, and the rest are genuine gemstones. All are set in solid 9k recycled gold.

Can I buy a charm for someone else’s birthday month?

Of course — that is one of the most popular reasons to buy. Many people collect a charm for each family member to build a family-birthstone necklace over time.

How long do the charms take to make?

Each charm is made to order in solid gold, typically in about 10–14 days, then shipped to you.
