No-one knows the exact origin of birthstones but these have been popular for centuries, if not millennia. In ancient times, birthstones were believed to have magical powers which protected the owner or person who wore the stone. Birthstones were traditionally linked to the Zodiac. Now, birthstones are associated with calendar months and each month corresponds to a different stone.
Many different types of jewellery have birthstones. There are rings, pendants, and even earrings. Giving the gift of a birthstone is a thoughtful way to show someone that you care.
Following is a list of months with their corresponding birthstone, as well as a brief description of their meanings.
