From rubies and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/articles-and-news\/fashion\/sapphire-septembers-birthstone\/\">sapphires<\/a> to blue topaz, amethyst and more, there\u2019s no shortage of sparkling gems at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/?promo_name=ShaneCoBlog&amp;promo_id=sBlog&amp;promo_creative=Soc_SCB_sBlg_January2020_mostpopularbirthstones\">Shane Co<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, of all the beautiful gems out there, few are more personally meaningful than those that represent one\u2019s birth month. With this in mind, we decided to dedicate a study to birthstones. We used the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/wonder.cdc.gov\/controller\/datarequest\/D66;jsessionid=EE02AA28730C0E58C736CA62BF2A233D?stage=results&amp;action=toggle&amp;p=O_show_totals&amp;v=false\">CDC<\/a> natality data to determine how many people are born each month in every state. From there, we determined the most common and rarest birthstones across the country. Additionally, we used our gemstone prices to determine which states have the most expensive birthstones of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for each month\u2019s designated birthstone, we used the most commonly accepted combinations, as shown in the key below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/birthstones-by-month?promo_name=ShaneCoBlog&amp;promo_id=sBlog&amp;promo_creative=Soc_SCB_sBlg_January2020_mostpopularbirthstones\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"3135\" height=\"2799\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 3135px) 100vw, 3135px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/63-1.png\" alt=\"Table showing the birthstones for each month.\" class=\"wp-image-5179 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/63-1.png 3135w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/63-1-300x268.png 300w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/63-1-430x384.png 430w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/63-1-768x686.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/63-1-1536x1371.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/63-1-2048x1829.png 2048w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 3135px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 3135\/2799;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/birthstones-by-month\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shop Birthstones by Month<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curious to see where your birthstone fell on the map?
