Birthday by Month
The wearing of birthstones is thought to bring good luck, good health, and protection. Astrologers long ago attributed supernatural powers to certain gemstones.
Along with this came the belief that each stone’s powers were amplified during the month it was assigned. It was believed wearing stones that best fit your astrological chart would place you in harmony with the universe and protect against negative cosmic forces. In 1912, the National Association of Jewelers gathered in Kansas to produce a standardized list of birthstones. These stones are what we recognize as the traditional birthstones. Since then, stones have been added as alternative stones to some months. In 1952, alexandrite, tourmaline, zircon and citrine were added. 2002 brought tanzanite and 2016 added spinel.
