OUR SPOTLIGHT ON BIRTHSTONES
|
|
Gemstone historians agree that the likely
origin of wearing birthstones involves a religious garment
set with twelve gemstones representing the tribes of Israel, months of
the year and signs of the zodiac. These stones were not accepted universally
and as you see below, often there are discrepancies. Today, the
Modern adaptation is considered the standard, although some argue that
it would be more appropriate to observe birthstones as suggested using
the Astrological sign. Regardless of your choice, listed are below are
the guidelines we have found.
As our website knowledge base and inventory expands,
we will link this table to the pieces we have available.
