Some Explanations About Birthstone Jewelry

An an incredibly popular present is birthstone jewelry. This type of jewelry incorporates the stone that is representative of a birth month. This tradition of a stone to signify a month was thought to have started centuries ago. The Breastplate of Aaron is thought to have started the tradition of birthstones. This piece of amour was described in the Bible and there are 12 stones on the breastplate, again indicating the 12 months.

There are also stones that are associated with astrology signs and these do differ from monthly birthstones. For a few of the people it’s a matter of personal choice re which stone, the astrology sign or month that they select as their own.

A listing of Months And Stones.

January is linked with the Garnet, which is traditionally a red stone. The Zodiac sign for January is the Capricorn and its gemstone is the Ruby which is also a red stone. Either stone would be fitting for a birthstone jewelry selection nonetheless or as both are red this is simpler to select.

Feb is the Amethyst stone that has a deep purple colour, the Zodiac sign connected with Feb is Aquarius which is connected with the Garnet stone. Some of us have birthdays at the end of a month, that means their Zodiac sign is set in the next month, so keep that noted when taking a look at birthstone jewellery and Zodiac stone jewellery.

March is the Aquamarine stone that is a beautiful shade of light blue. The Zodiac sign associated with March is Pisces and its stone is Amethyst. Either would do well for birthstone jewellery.

Apr is the month of the Zodiac sign Aries, its standard birthstone is the diamond and the stone that represents its Zodiac sign is the bloodstone. Other countries also may have different stones for a particular month. For example, in Russia the traditional stone for April is the Bloodstone.

May has the traditional stone of Emerald and the stone that symbolizes Taurus is the Sapphire.

June has a birthstone of Alexandrite which is a fascinating colored stone. In the light this stone appears to be a green or bluish-green colour, in darker light the colour can appear red. This is a particularly unique stone and birthstone jewelry with this color can be hard to find. The Zodiac stone for this month is the Agate stone.

July brings the Ruby stone for the month and the Emerald for the Zodiac sign of Cancer.

August is the month traditionally associated with eh Zodiac sign Leo the Lion and the stone that represents that sign is the Onyx. The month of Aug is given to the Peridot stone.

September is legendary for the Sapphire which is historically a blue colour. The zodiac stone is the Carnelian.

October is the sign of Libra and the zodiac stone is Peridot, while the month stone is the Opal.

November brings us the birthstone of yellow Topaz and the astrology stone is the Beryl.

Ultimately , December is the Blue Topaz and the Zodiac stone is also Topaz.
