Scorpio runs from 24 October to 22 November. Its element is water, its ruling planet is Pluto, and because it spans two months, it has two lucky stones: opal and citrine. Typical traits are intensity, loyalty and a sure feel for nuance. When it comes to gifts for a Scorpio, one rule applies: meaning beats everything, and nothing superficial gets through to them.
These three pieces are the ones most often chosen for Scorpios:

10 typical Scorpio traits
1. Intense
Scorpios don't do lukewarm. Whatever they do, they do with everything they've got, and whoever they like, they really like. This intensity can seem overwhelming, but it is also the reason why relationships with them are so solid.
2. Passionate
Whether it's a project, a person or a conviction: when something grips a Scorpio, they burn with passion for it. Half-hearted enthusiasm is foreign to them.
3. Loyal to the end
Make it into a Scorpio's inner circle and you have an ally for life. Scorpios stand by their people, even when it gets uncomfortable, and expect the same loyalty in return.
4. Strong-willed
Once a Scorpio has made up their mind, hardly anything can knock them off course. If anything, resistance makes them more determined. This persistence takes them far and makes them an uncomfortable opponent.
5. A good judge of character
Scorpios sense when something isn't right. They pick up on undertones that others don't hear, and they're hard to fool. With a Scorpio, honesty is the shortest route.
6. Mysterious
They don't reveal everything, and certainly not straight away. Scorpios share information about themselves in measured doses. Not out of calculation, but because, for them, closeness is something you earn.
7. Holds a grudge
The most obvious downside: hurt runs deep and is remembered for a long time. Scorpios forgive, but they rarely forget. Anyone who breaks their trust will hardly ever get it a second time.
8. Courageous
Uncomfortable truths, difficult conversations, big changes: Scorpios go where others shy away. Crises don't paralyse them; they galvanise them.
9. Deep
Small talk bores them. They want to know what really drives someone, and would rather have one real conversation with one person than ten superficial ones at a party.
10. Protective
Scorpios draw a palpable protective circle around their people. Cross their family or friends and you'll have a Scorpio to deal with, without fail and without hesitation.
Scorpio in love
In love, Scorpios go all in. They aren't looking for a relationship to pass the time, but for real closeness, and for them that also means knowing the other person's less pleasant sides. Jealousy can be an issue, because commitment matters so much to them. Meet them with openness and you will experience a loyalty that is rare. They get on particularly well with the water signs Cancer and Pisces, as well as with Capricorn and Virgo, who share their seriousness.
Scorpio at work
At work, Scorpios are strong wherever stamina and insight count: on complex tasks, in crises, anywhere you can't afford to stay on the surface. They work with focus, often preferring to work alone rather than in large groups, and deliver results they really stand behind. Their challenge: delegating, and accepting that others go about things differently.
Scorpio in the family
Within the family, Scorpio is the protector. They notice when someone isn't doing well, often before anyone has mentioned it. They take togetherness seriously; for them, family ties are no mere formality. As a parent, they offer support and loyalty; they just need to take care to leave their children enough space of their own.
What gift suits a Scorpio?
A gift that has clearly been thought through touches them deeply; a random one leaves them cold, no matter how expensive it was. The ideal is something with a private message: an engraving on the back that only the two of you understand. More pieces where you can choose the stone:

Good to knowOur birthstones are sparkling cubic zirconia in the colour of each stone, not natural stone. For October, you choose rose quartz instead of the delicate opal, and for November, citrine. More on this in the birthstone guide.
What misses the mark with a Scorpio
- A gift from the 'well-meant' category. They notice straight away whether someone has put thought into it. To a Scorpio, a standard present comes across as more distant than friendly.
- Something loud to show off. Outwardly, their style is understated. The meaning can run deep, but the piece itself shouldn't be flashy.
- A gesture in front of an audience. They'd rather receive something personal in private than in front of everyone.
What do you write on the card?
These are the lines our customers most often write themselves:
- Happy birthday, wishing you only the best.
- For the person who does nothing by halves.
- You know what this means.
- Stay exactly as you are.
- We're always here for you.
Plan your spaceYou write your card in the cart, in three fields: Greeting, Message, Signature. Altogether, around 150 characters fit on the card. That leaves about 100 characters for the message itself.

What is Scorpio's birthstone?

What do you give a Scorpio?
Something with real personal meaning: jewellery with an engraving that only the two of you understand, a piece with their lucky stone, or a gift linked to a place or date you share. Anything random or superficial doesn't get through to them.
