A Guide To Birthstone Jewellery
Meaningful and personal, birthstone jewellery makes a perfect gift for birthdays, anniversaries, and special occasions. This guide takes you through the history, meaning and science behind each birthstone, as well as how to care for them.
Because no one cares more about celebrating life’s best bits with you than us.
What is a birthstone?
A birthstone is a gemstone that represents someone’s birthday – usually their month or zodiac sign. Legends speak of the healing, protective powers, and spiritual symbols of each birthstone, and it’s believed that wearing a birthstone during its assigned month heightens these powers.
What is the Mohs scale of hardness?
Created in 1812 by scientist Friedrich Mohs, the Mohs hardness scale rates 10 minerals based on the ability of one mineral to scratch another, 1 being the softest and 10 being the hardest.
This scale gives you an idea of how hard other gemstones are, including the gemstones mentioned below.
Birthstones month by month
Imbued with mythology, the origin of birthstones can be traced back to ancient times – when 12 stones were associated with the 12 signs of the zodiac. The list of birthstones as we know it today was created in 1912 by the National Association of Jewellers in America.
Birthstones by Zodiac
Birthstones are actually historically linked to the zodiac, not the months; as there were 12 stones for the 12 signs of the zodiac during Roman times. Choosing a birthstone by zodiac is another way to find a personal and meaningful piece of jewellery for yourself or a loved one.
We’ve listed the below zodiac birthstones, but there’s often alternative stones for each sign. Align your stars and heighten your powers with your zodiac birthstone.
