If you want to get person extra in your life a gift they'll remember, gemstone jewelry is all the time a great choice. But what if you don't know the person closely enough to know their favorite color or gem? Well, you can all the time be spot-on if you go with their birthstone as the starting point. And don't worry. Gone are the days when the only birthstone possibilities were high-priced and semi-precious gems. There are now acceptable, and in some cases preferred, alternatives to the ruby, emerald, sapphire, solitaire and similar pricey gemstone jewelry that express your sentiment without squeezing your wallet.
For the first three months of the year - January, February, and March - the only choices used to be garnet, amethyst, and aquamarine, respectively. Not ultra-expensive, but still pretty pricey in some cases. Now, an alternative for January is rose quartz, which represents emotional balance, February's options are black or white onyx to express comfort, and aquamarine, the primary birthstone of March, is now rivaled by bloodstone, representing endurance.
July Birthstones
The next three months is when gemstone jewelry got de facto expensive. April, May, and June's time-honored gems are diamond, emerald, and alexandrite. And even if you wanted to splurge on one of these gems, seeing one of exquisite quality is roughly impossible today without going the "lab-created" route. Fortunately, the alternatives are not only available in abundance, they're more affordable as well. April's solitaire can be replaced by clear quartz, May's emerald by chrysoprase (green quartz), and alexandrite, June's gem, can be swapped out for moonstone or pearl. Respectively by month, these surrogate options represent balance, fertility, and purity.

From a price perspective, things don't get much good for the gemstone jewelry buyer the next three months either. Ruby, peridot, and sapphire are July, August, and September's birthstones. Again, quality rubies and sapphires are addition difficult to come by, and very high-priced when you do. As more inexpensive alternatives, red-orange carnelian is viable for June and represents luck. Peridot can be swapped for sardonyx, a yellow-brown stone that conveys security. The blue sapphire can be replaced with lapis, a dark blue and rare stone, which points out the understanding nature of the recipient.
October, November, and December's primary stones are all still reasonably priced, so in this case, presenting an alternative birthstone may just be a fun change of pace. The opal, October's stone, can be replaced with tourmaline to express balance. Topaz, the excellent November birthstone, can be replaced with smoky or yellow citrine to represent hope. And finally, the two primary stones of December, turquoise and zircon, have been joined by a third - tanzanite. This stone, when presented, is meant to display the person's understanding nature.
Be aware of the traits you respect and admire most about your recipient. Choose wisely, based on the type of other jewelry they wear and their personal preferences. Don't buy alternative gemstone jewelry because it's cheaper, buy it because it expresses a extra quality you admire.
