Are you a natural-born problem solver with meticulous attention to detail? And were you born between August 23 and September 22? Good news: You’re definitely a Virgo and have at least some of the traits of this star sign. And as a Virgo, you also have an appreciation for beauty and sophistication. We’re here to explore all the Virgo personality traits, along with Virgo birthstone jewelry that feels fresh and polished.
The Virgo aesthetic: Understated & intentional
Ruled by the Earth, the sixth astrological sign of the zodiac represents a virgin maiden, arms spread out from her sides, holding a sheaf of wheat. Virgo constellation jewelry resembles the letter “M” with a looping flourish on the right side.
The maiden imagery of Virgo also symbolizes purity and practicality. Logic and organization are your strong suits, so you’re probably ready to jump in there and be the fixer — even if you’re self-critical in the process. And if you’re a Virgo, you also get to share your star sign with Beyonce, Mother Teresa, Shania Twain and Keanu Reeves.
Jewelry trends that resonate with Virgo energy
When it comes to overall style, Virgos like to stick to the classics, mixing it up every now and then, but trying to stay with functional pieces that serve a purpose while being timeless.
But what jewelry should Virgo wear? They tend to be drawn to minimalist, timeless pieces that are beautifully made and not overly flashy. Jewelry with meaning or function, such as lockets, birthstone charms or the Virgo symbol, also appeals to Virgo’s thoughtful, intentional nature.
Signature Pieces for the Virgo spirit
Silver, platinum or white gold tends to be the best fit for Virgos. These cooler-toned metals reflect Virgo’s calm, earthy energy and complement their preference for subtle sophistication. Dainty engagement rings, delicate chain necklaces and refined studs or hoops all align with Virgo’s polished style.
The primary jewel for Virgo is the sapphire, especially blue sapphire, which represents wisdom, clarity and integrity. But gemstones like peridot also speak to the Virgo spirit.
Gift guide: Jewelry for the practical romantic
Here are a few Virgo jewelry ideas, along with birthstone pieces you can incorporate into your own jewelry repertoire:
- Since Virgo dates span July and August, those late-August birthdays will find that sparklingly clear green peridot gemstones help give their outfits life. Choose a Virgo birthstone necklace, or select a pair of understated peridot studs.
- Few things are as elegant and timeless as a regal blue sapphire; just ask Princess Kate. If you’re looking for a gift for a spouse or partner, whether for their birthday or a relationship milestone in September, try a classic diamond and sapphire bracelet.
- He’s impossible to shop for, but he likes jewelry. Appeal to his practicality and get him a birthday gift that speaks to his sign. A mix of yellow and white gold, along with the Virgo sign and a small sparkle of diamonds, gives this pendant Virgo zodiac necklace a timeless quality he can wear with casual and more formal outfits alike.
- Your tween is always looking for the next trending thing, whether it’s a water bottle or the newest shoes. A blinged-out Virgo necklace that spells out her sign in white sapphires and sterling silver or a silver necklace with a rose gold heart will be a fit-check style staple.
