Birthstones by Month
What are Birthstones?
Birthstones are specific gems that have been traditionally associated with each month of the year. The origin of birthstones is believed to date back to the breastplate of Aaron which contained twelve gemstones representing the twelve tribes of Israel. Over time, there has been some variation in the particular stones used as monthly birthstones, however the idea of birthstones still has a signifcant place in many traditions, customs, and belief systems today.
Birthstones are often chosen to be worn in jewellery. Whether it is a pendant, necklace, bracelet, earrings, or a ring, birthstones are a very popular choice for special gemstone gifts and amulets.
