The birthstone list is a collection of precious gems that correspond to each month. They have symbolic meanings and powers, and many people believe that wearing a particular stone can improve their health or well-being.
The custom of wearing a birthstone dates back to 16th century Poland and has spread around the world. The upper class of the time would wear corresponding stones during their month, as they believed it would give them favor with celestial spirits.
Since 1912, the American National Retail Jeweler’s Association (now Jewelers of America) has created a standard birthstone list that is used by jewelers throughout the United States. Several other organizations in the industry also have their own lists, including the American Gem Trade Association and the Jewelry Industry Council of America.
There are a few differences in the various lists, some of which are small. For instance, the AGS doesn’t include moonstone for June, while JA and AGTA do.
Choosing which stone to wear can be challenging, as it depends on a number of factors. It is best to choose a stone that matches your personality and is appropriate for the occasion.
Another thing to consider is the gemstone’s hardness and durability. Some gems are more durable than others, and the gemstone you select will need to be hard enough to withstand normal wear.
If you are considering a specific gem, it’s best to have a consultation with a professional to make sure it’s the right one for your needs. This way, you can make an informed choice and avoid the frustration of buying a piece of jewelry that won’t be able to stand up to everyday wear.
