Gemstone: Opal

Libra, your charm is a spectrum and opal captures every shade. It’s the gemstone equivalent of a mood ring but way prettier.

Traits: Disciplined, ambitious, probably has a plan to conquer the world.

Gemstone: Garnet

Capricorn, you’re all about ambition, and garnet is the gemstone CEO. It’s known for attracting success and power (and maybe a few envious glances). Wear it to climb that corporate ladder—just be sure to reach behind you and help others follow your lead.

Traits: Innovative, quirky, likely to own a pet snake.

Gemstone: Amethyst

Aquarius, you’re the zodiac’s resident alien, and amethyst is your cosmic link. It’s as quirky as your conspiracy theories and as calming as your plans to save the world. Wear it to enhance your already out-there ideas—it’s weirdness amplified (in a good way).

Traits: Artistic, empathetic, can cry at a sad TV commercial.

Gemstone: Aquamarine
