So, if you or your sweetheart have a garnet, expect a long-lasting, unshakeable bond. Just make sure you both don’t chase after the same squirrel.
February – Amethyst: The Peacekeeper
For my February-born friends, you’re blessed with the amethyst. This purple beauty brings balance and peace to relationships.

Just steer clear of making mountains out of molehills, and you’ll be golden.
March – Aquamarine: The Breezy Lover
March babies, you’ve got the lovely, calming aquamarine. A chill, easy-going gem that signifies harmony, and boy, do you bring that into your relationships.

But let’s not get too relaxed now; make sure you anchor down that boat before it floats away into complacency!
April – Diamond: The Unbreakable Bond
Now, April folks, you’ve hit the jackpot with the diamond. It represents unbreakable relationships and invincible strength. Y’all are like the ironclad tanks of the relationship world – nothing’s getting through that armor.

July – Ruby: The Passionate Flame
July folks, hold onto your hats because you’ve got the ruby. A symbol of intense passion and energy, you love full-heartedly. You’re like a roaring fire keeping the relationship warm and exciting. But be careful not to let that flame burn too high and scorch everything around. A controlled fire is a delightful one. Just keep the hose nearby for those unexpected flare-ups.
August – Peridot: The Cheerful Companion
Ah, August-born, with the peridot you bring sunshine and cheer. You’re the life of the party in relationships, always lighting up the room with your joyful and optimistic nature. However, let’s make sure those glasses aren’t too rose-colored – awareness is key to keeping the energy balanced and genuine.
September – Sapphire: The Protector
September kiddos, with the sapphire, you’ve got a heart of blue, symbolizing wisdom and protection. You guard your relationships with the diligence of a virtuous knight. You’ll be the first on the front lines, shielding your loved ones from any harm. But let’s not get too knightly and forget the power of vulnerability. Lower that guard sometimes and let the love flow freely.

December – Turquoise: The Tranquil Soul
And finally, December children with turquoise, you bring tranquility and grounding to relationships. You’re like a gentle, calming presence, anchoring the bond with steady and nurturing love. But here’s a nugget of wisdom – while your tranquil waters are soothing, don’t be afraid to stir things up occasionally. A little drama can keep the relationship waters from becoming too stagnant.
