There’s a lot of magic in the world…
You know that feeling when you look at a gemstone and feel like it’s talking to you? Or when someone gives you a necklace with a certain stone in it and suddenly everything just feels right? It’s like they were able to see into your soul and pick out exactly what would make you happy.
Well, maybe they didn’t pick out the gemstone themselves—maybe they just picked up something they knew was already magical. We’re not saying we believe in magic… but maybe we do! And if we do: birthstones are probably the most powerful kind of magic there is.
People believe that gemstones can be traced back to the biblical times. In Exodus 28, Moses gives instructions to make special garments for Aaron, the High Priest of the Hebrews. The breastplate was to contain 12 precious gemstones representing the 12 tribes of Israel. Later these stones were likely to be linked to the 12 signs of the zodiac, eventually being associated with the 12 months of the year.
Throughout history, there have been many myths and legends associated with birthstones. Many believed they had mystical powers or brought good luck. Not everyone agreed on which stones corresponded to which months so the list can vary through history but today there is agreement on a basic set of birthstones.
