In the past, people wore a birthstone associated with each month of the year. Each stone had a unique value and meaning. Today, birthstones are stones that represent the month of a person’s birthday. In 1912, Sears published an official list of birthstones. The list remains largely the same. The year of birth has no bearing on a birthstone’s value, but its name is significant.
The gemstones associated with different months are usually quite similar. However, birthstones that have astrological associations are a bit more varied. For example, if you were born in August, you should wear peridot, the birthstone for August. Peridot is a green variety of olivine and is rich in magnesium. It is often associated with the fierce Hawaiian goddess of fire, so wearing a peridot in jewelry can help clear negative energies and bring luck.
Aquamarine is a variety of quartz and carries a deep purple color. Ancient Greeks thought that wearing an amethyst would protect the wearer from being drunk, and it protected against depression. The birthstone for March is aquamarine, and its beautiful pale to deep blue color evokes the sea and makes for a stunning accent to spring wardrobes. So if you’re born in March, consider buying a birthstone ring for yourself!
