Exquisite, Stylish, Hand-Crafted Birthstone Jewelry

Birthstone jewelry is simply jewelry incorporating traditional birthstones into their design.  What we now refer to as birthstones our ancestors may have regarded as sacred gifts from the heavens.  The earliest associations of gemstones with months of the year may have evolved from the twelve stones mentioned in the Bible on the breastplate of the high priest, or perhaps from the twelve apostles.

In 1912, the American National Retail Jewelers Association adopted a list of birthstones as listed in the table below, and these are what are now referred to as the traditional birthstones.  For further information on the history and physical characteristics of gemstones, we suggest you visit the authoritative website of The Gemological Institute of America (the "GIA").
