Birthstones
Precious stones and crystals have elegantly adorned crowns, necks, hands and temples since ancient civilizations.
In 1912, the National Association of Jewelers in the USA established the popular list of birthstones, which has remained largely unchanged, with the exceptions of Tanzanite (added in 2006) and Spinel (added in 2016).
Wearing a stone associated with your birth month is believed to help you embrace the positive qualities* of that gem in your daily life.
