Birthstone Collection
The Birthstone Collection are sets of twelve themed Truly Me outfits based around birthstones.
The collection first released in August 2023; all outfits had an initial retail cost of $52 which later raised to $56. A second collection released in March 2026 with a retail cost of $60.
American Girl discusses the meaning of each birthstone and several noted celebrities as well as characters with the particular birth month in an article on the site.[1]
2023 Collection
Each outfit is based on one of the known birthstones for each month of the year; some use known alternatives.
June uses alexandrite instead of the traditional pearl but has pearl accents. October uses the alternate tourmaline (specifically, pink tourmaline) instead of opal but has opal accents. November uses citrine instead of topaz (though topaz is the same rough color and is often mistaken for citrine). December instead uses topaz in the name with blue topaz, rather than the traditional turquoise.
The outfits include accents of the gemstone on clothing as well as a choker with the gemstone in the center. The March, July, and August outfits include stick-on earrings.
Starting in 2025 with the April Dazzling Diamond Outfit, outfits began to retire.
