Birthstones Wearing birthstone jewelry is a popular tradition that has been around for centuries. The idea of birthstones holds a significant place in many traditions, customs, and belief systems. While birthstones are no longer widely believed to have religious significance, some experts claim that the stones possess healing powers.

Apart from specific powers, there are long-standing superstitions surrounding birthstones.

Many people believe that wearing jewelry featuring gemstones associated with their birth month brings good luck, protection and positive energy. Whether you believe in these superstitions or simply enjoy having a stone that is uniquely yours, birthstones remain a timeless way to express individuality and make a great gift and a meaningful addition to any jewelry collection.
