People have been using birthstones since Aaron (in the bible) wore a breastplate which contained twelve gemstones representing the twelve tribes of Israel. This list below was created in 1912 and has been used universally since then, and it has remained the same with the exception of the addition of tanzanite added to the month of December.
Initially, people used birthstones to ward off evil and to attract good luck into their life. The use of birthstones is very personal because they are symbolic of your personality and your most favorable attributes.
Every month of the year represents a different birthstone, but some months have more than one stone so you get to choose whichever you like best. Try to pick one that makes you smile if you have a hard time deciding on which stone to use to identify with your birth day.
Birthstones are a great way to share something personal about yourself with others and they make a great ice breaker. Choose carefully!
There are numerous legends and myths about birthstone healing powers and their therapeutic influence. According to these legends, wearing a gemstone during its assigned month heightened its healing powers. For the full effect, individuals needed to own all twelve and alternate them monthly.
