Twelve precious gemstones are arranged in a grid, each rendered in detailed, naturalistic illustration and labeled with its corresponding birth month. "THE BIRTHSTONES" appears in bold capitals at the top, anchoring a composition that moves from deep reds and purples through emerald greens, blues, and warm ambers, creating a comprehensive palette of gemstone colors against a soft cream background. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
