What's Your Birthstone?

Beautiful future. Beautiful fortune.

The theory of birthstones is believed by many to date back to Biblical times. In Exodus 28:15-30, a breastplate is described as containing colors that signify each of the traditional birthstones. These mostly precious gems (pearl is the only non-gem) were thought to bring good luck to people who wore their corresponding stone.

Today, choosing a birthstone isn’t as easy as you’d expect. There are many options to consider, including modern, traditional, Ayurvedic (from traditional Indian medicine), mystical (of Tibetan origin) and zodiac birthstones. Below is a list of modern birthstones, as adopted by the American National Association of Jewelers in 1912.
