Birthstones have been around since ancient times, and in those days were believed to possess some magical force that could protect the owner or wearer of the stone. These birthstones were traditionally linked to the Zodiac.
However, modern birthstones are linked to calendar months, and each month has its own unique birthstone, with its own fabled properties. Many people love to wear jewellery set with their birthstone, as the ancient meanings and associations with these stones still intrigue them.

The term birthstones came from a story that, for full advantage, individuals took to wearing one stone for every period of the year and credited an alternate importance and incentive to them. In the end this training was changed with the goal that an individual would just wear the stone for the month they were born .
