In the book of exodus, Aaron wore a breastplate containing 12 gems that represented the 12 tribes of Israel. Today, those 12 gems are the 12 months in the year. Some people believe birthstones are like armor, a way of protecting one from negative forces and predicting their fate.
It wasn’t until 1912 when the National Association of Jewelers officially determined which stones represented which month. They made sure to choose stones that jewelers can get a hold of and be able to sell. These personalized pieces of jewelry are not just unique in stone, but unique in color too. People love including them with other custom jewelry elements like lockets, nameplates, initials, and charms.

For example, those born in July have the fiery ruby as their birthstone, which is believed to represent love, passion, and courage. Birthstone jewelry can personalize your style and add a little bit of magic to your everyday wear. Each birthstone also represents a different positive attribute like calmness, protection, energy, and other symbolism.
