Soft purple amethyst is said to bring calm and clarity — perfect for a spirited toddler or a thoughtful teen. Its gentle violet hue makes it one of the most popular birthstones for children's jewelry.

March – Aquamarine

The pale blue of aquamarine evokes the sea and is associated with courage and health. It's a serene, elegant stone that looks stunning in pendant necklaces and stud earrings for girls of all ages.
