How to choose a birthday gift for your wife
Her stone, or a stone that means something
Her own birthstone is the obvious choice, but a child's birthstone or your anniversary stone can mean more. If she wears gold every day, a colored stone in yellow gold reads warm; in white gold it reads cool and bright.
Milestone birthdays
For a 30th, 40th or 50th, step up a tier: larger diamond studs, a tennis bracelet or a natural sapphire. Our luxury jewelry gifts start at $3,000.

Birthday jewelry for wife: questions
What is a good birthday jewelry gift for my wife?
A necklace in her birthstone is the classic choice because it is personal and needs no size. Diamond studs, gold hoops and a fine bracelet are the safe alternatives if she does not wear color.
What is the December birthstone?
December has three traditional stones: tanzanite, zircon and turquoise, with blue topaz also widely used. We feature tanzanite as our December pick for its violet-blue color.
Which months have more than one birthstone?
June (pearl, alexandrite and moonstone), August (peridot, spinel and sardonyx), October (opal and tourmaline), November (topaz and citrine) and December (tanzanite, zircon and turquoise) all have more than one.
Are birthstone necklaces natural or lab-grown?
It depends on the piece; each product page states it. Most stones in this guide are natural; the May emerald pick is lab-grown, which is real emerald grown in a laboratory.
How far ahead should I order a birthday gift?
About two weeks. Many pieces are made to order and ship in about 5 to 10 business days, and each product page shows its timing before you check out.
Methodology & sources
How we chose. Our jewelers shortlisted pieces from the live catalog, then a panel of four reviewers (a merchandiser, a gemologist, a search specialist and our creative director) chose the most appropriate pieces at four budgets. Every pick was checked as active and available to order on the date below; prices on this page update live from each product. Every stone is labeled lab-grown or natural, as it is on the product page. Nobody paid to be included.
