Every birthstone is unique and each gem represents different qualities bestowed upon its wearer. The history of birthstones can be traced back to the bible where it states that Moses instructed special garments be made for Aaron the High Priest of the Hebrews: the breast plate was to carry 12 precious gemstones representing the 12 tribes of Israel; later they represented the signs of the zodiac, and eventually months of the year. There is a different exquisite gemstone associated for every month of the year and you can discover below many beautiful pieces which will make the perfect gift.
