Delving into the History of Birthstones

The concept of birthstones dates back thousands of years. Ancient cultures believed that gemstones possessed magical properties and powers connected to the cosmos. However, the origin of associating a gemstone with a specific birth month comes from the Bible's Book of Exodus, where Aaron, the High Priest of the Israelites, wore a breastplate adorned with twelve gemstones representing the twelve tribes of Israel. Each gemstone was believed to hold unique qualities and blessings, and together, they forged a sacred connection between heaven and earth.

As time progressed, the connection between these gemstones and the twelve constellations of the zodiac emerged. People began wearing the stone affiliated with their zodiac sign to harness its spiritual benefits. By the 18th century, wearing a single gemstone associated with one's birth month became the prevalent custom, leading to a standardized list of birthstones we are familiar with today.

The Meaning Behind Each Month's Birthstone

Every birthstone is said to carry a unique symbolic meaning. Here is a brief overview of each month's birthstone and its associated attributes:
