The True Value of Every Birthstone

From Affordable to Astonishingly Rare You probably know your birthstone. But do you actually know how much it’s worth? Not all birthstones are created equal. Some gemstones commonly sold in mall jewelry stores are mass-produced and relatively inexpensive in their natural form. Others, when found in exceptional quality, can be worth more per carat than diamonds. In this video, we rank every traditional birthstone from the cheapest to the most valuable. We reveal which stones are truly rare, how treatments can affect their appearance and value, and the pricing secrets the jewelry industry rarely explains to everyday buyers. From the surprising truth about the affordability of diamonds to the exceptionally rare gemstone associated with June that can quietly outvalue almost everything else on this list, this ranking may completely change the way you look at birthstone jewelry. Whether you’re shopping for yourself, looking for the perfect gift, or simply curious about what your own birthstone is really worth, watch until the end because the final ranking might surprise you.
