About This Quiz

Just like signs of the zodiac, every birthstone comes with a set of traits and qualities that make it unique. Just because you were born under a certain stone's month doesn't mean it's your true birthstone, though. Once you tell us all about yourself, we'll match you up with the birthstone you have the most in common with. 

While rubies are said to offer a creative spirit to the wearer, sapphires are said to offer a sense of calm. Depending on how you live your life and how you approach our questions, we will be able to tell which month's stone you vibe with more than the others. Will it be the stone you were assigned when you were born, or will it be a completely different color? 

Diamonds might be the toughest of the birthstones, but the others give them a run for their money. Whether you are earthy like your sign or as temperate as the season you were born in, the birthstone that's meant for you could change your life. Once you get your results, you will be able to use your new stone to reap all of its known benefits. Care to take a guess before we begin?
