Birthstones aren’t just colourful but have a long history dating back to ancient times. The origins of this tradition can be traced all the way back to biblical times and the Book of Exodus. It describes the breastplate worn by Aaron, the first high priest of the Israelites. Today birthstones are linked with the 12 signs of the zodiac and our Gregorian calendar.
It is believed that birthstones possess virtues and attributes that can bring benefits and good luck to the wearer.
