About Birthstone Jewelry

Even in modern times, people still enjoy the tradition of wearing birthstone jewelry. As far back as the year 1,400 B.C., people have been wearing rare and beautiful gemstones for protection, good luck, and for their magical properties. Certain gems were believed to have specific magical powers.

Traditionally, each sign of the zodiac was linked to a certain gem through a system of colors, as it was believed that the color of the gem unleashed the stone’s powers. As time went on, birthstones became associated with the calendar months rather than with the zodiac.

Today, birthstone jewelry makes for a great gift item for family members, friends, even yourself! You can mix and match birthstone colors to represent members of your family, school colors, or just to create a unique and personal color combination!

Each piece of birthstone jewelry available on this site is handmade with 14kt gold fill or sterling silver wire and real Swarovski® crystal beads representing the 12 birthstone colors. Find jewelry to represent your birth month, or you can visit the “Create Your Own Custom Mix” section to create your own personalized look!
