Birthstones really personalize a gift don’t they?
Rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and diamonds are too expensive for the everyday beader, so what’s a girl to do?

(The above image shows an example of how I’ve used Swarovski crystal beads in birthstone colors to accentuate my Popo bracelet.)
Swarovski Crystal beads are considered to be the highest quality crystal beads in the world. The sparkle they give off is scrumptious.
Here’s the Swarovski Birthstone Color Chart I Use:
