    As a person from July: Why are rubies so damn expensive. I got my ears pierced with tiny rubies, but they are so minuscule because otherwise they'd be so expensive

      Rubies really cover the price range depending on their quality, locality, and any treatment applied. Check out our assortment on Jedora, where they range from $25 and up! www.jedora.com/shop/gemstones/ruby-gemstones

    I would change the diamond (my birthstone) to something like Fluorite or rose quartz, or even it's unakite. These resemble Spring more than a diamond.

      Honestly born in April I'm a diamond too, my opinion: Really? The most bland stone there is, used in pretty much all jewelry from from weddings to birthstones to pretty just just your defacto hey it's jewelry what did you expect to be in there? I get it it's shiny, might be the easiest to reflect light beautifully. I like color. My favorite color is red, and your birthstone being a diamond kinda makes it not special or unique anymore when like I said it's the default gem used in like everyone's wedding ring. Why is diamond even a birthstone? It shouldn't be. Give me some color and add flair to April. Look at how fancy the first October stone looks? 4:56 Now that's beautiful.

    Also, what about pearl (June) and turquoise (December)? Where did that come from?
    Because I'm not familiar with actual gems being associated with those months. It's always been pearls for June's birthstone and turquoise for December's birthstone as far as I'm concerned.

    I have aquamarine as my birthstone but most jewelry I find is too pale in color for my taste. You only get good color payoff if you spend a pretty penny and I’m poor AF. I tend to gravitate towards peridot jewelry instead because it has more color saturation plus it’s not super expensive. I also loooooove opals.

    so why is emerald and beryl seperate, as emerald is the green variety of beryl? and the beryl shown is most likely a morganite, a pinkish variety of beryl? beryl is a group of several varieties of minerals such as emerald, morganite and aquamarin. same with onyx and agate. onyx is the black variety of agate. jasper and amethyst and ruby and sapphire can be named next to each other as they are both varieties of the same group (quartz and corundum). but it somehow doesn't make sense to me to once name a mineral group and then name a specific variety of the group seperate. for example if Beryl is your birthstone, you could basically choose which one you like, also including emerald which is already assigned to another birth month. so it doesn't make any sense...
