The History of the birthstone is now well documented.
The Birthstone List showing
gemstones for different months put out by the American National Association of
Jewelers is also now widely accepted. However,one has a lot of choice in the selection of
Birthstone gems and Birthstone Jewelry with the apt birthstone gem stones.
The breastplate of Aaron, the origin of
the birthstone list,
has birthstone gemstones corresponding to the zodiac signs and not calendar months. In fact,
the present calendar months system was not known at the time of the exodus. So you
can choose your birthstone based on the calendar month or the zodiac sign under
which you were born. This is the birthstone list
of gemstones corresponding to zodiac signs.The choice of birthstone gems for each zodiac
sign is again open to interpretation. E.g., in the olden days, both rubies and
garnets were classified as carbuncles. Moreover, all gemstones were not easily
available all over the world. So some gem scholars give more importance to the
color of the gemstone used in the breast plate of Aaron, rather than the name.
Our Birthstone Colors Chart will give you
a match of the color corresponding to each month and the choice of gemstones
available for each color.
To get information about an individual birthstone click on the calendar month or
zodiac sign of your choice.
