Traditionally it was diamonds that featured in the majority of engagement rings but in the past few years, birthstone engagement rings have been increasing in popularity. These prove to be particularly suited to ladies who desire a more unique ring with a touch of sentiment.

Birthstones are gemstones dedicated to the month of your birth. Some months offer one choice, whilst others offer two or more. This is a list of the designated birthstones per month:
* January: Garnet
* February: Amethyst
* March: Aquamarine
* April: Diamonds or Sapphires
* May: Emeralds
* June: Emeralds, Pearls, or Alexandrite
* July: Onyx or Rubies
* August: Peridot
* September: Sapphires
* October: Aquamarine, Opal, or Pink Tourmaline
* November: Topaz
* December: Rubies or Turquoise
The easiest choice for birthstone rings is to use the bride’s birthstone. This can be done in two ways: using the birthstone as an alternative center stone instead of a traditional diamond, or using small accent birthstones in addition to a diamond. When using a large birthstone gem, be sure to investigate the characteristics of a quality stone, including typical flaws and appropriate coloration. For small accent stones, the quality is less vital because the central diamond will be the ring’s focal point.
Straightforward birthstone rings can potentially cost far less than traditional diamond rings, because many birthstones are semi-precious gems, which typically have a lower value because they are less rare. On the other hand, it may be necessary to customize birth month engagement rings because jewelry stores usually only have a very limited selection of birthstone jewelry, especially outside the month in question. When choosing a gemstone ring, the best financial deals can be made if the ring is purchased toward the end of the associated month.
