Birthstones for Personalized Jewelry |
Birthstones are associated with a month of the Gregorian Calendar. There is no particular connection between the birthstones and the months, but they are often used as a way to
personalize jewelry, taking the stone for the month in which a person was born.
Some attribute the origin of the tradition of birthstones to the 12-jeweled breastplate worn by Aaron, the brother of Moses. Myths and superstitions gradually grew up regarding the stones, and symbolic meanings or virtue were ascribed to them.
There have been many different sets of birthstones used throughout history and in different cultures such as Modern Birthstones, Traditional Birthstones, Mystical Birthstones, Ayurvedic Birthstones, etc.
The Modern Birthstone list contains the official birthstone list from the American National Association of Jewelers. These birthstones were officially adopted in 1912.
The Traditional Birthstone list contains older birthstones. And sometimes the traditional birthstone list is combined with the modern birthstone list too.
These birthstones reflect social birthstone traditions, so there are many different lists of traditional birthstones.
The Mystical Birthstone list is originated from Tibet thousand years ago.
The Ayurvedic Birthstone list is originated from Ayurvedic Indian plant medicine in India.
