Birthstones are more than just pretty jewels that accompany every month—they’re also associated with a person’s emotional qualities, like kindness, loyalty, and creativity. Artist Shaunda Hale incorporates these personality traits into her dazzling, gem-encrusted mixed-media pieces.
- Every heart-shaped collage is made with real stones that represent the month’s associated birthstone.
- Shaunda lists three positive qualities tied to each birthstone, plus the stone’s name and month.
- January (Garnet): loving, tenacious, and loyal
- February (Amethyst): caring, confident, and perceptive
- March (Aquamarine): spirited, devoted, and kind
- April (Clear Quartz, representing diamond): creative, assured, and reliable
