What is birthstone jewelry?
Each month of the year has a specific gemstone associated with it that is considered the “birthstone” for that month. Your birthstone is the gemstone of the month that you are born in.
Since the custom of wearing birthstone jewelry began, it has been thought to provide the wearer with luck and other virtues specific to their month of birth. It also was rumored to provide the wearer with protection from evil forces.
In modern times,birthstone jewelry makes a perfect gift for any occasion – Birthdays, Christmas, Anniversaries and any other time you need a thoughtful, yet cost-effective gift.
Birthstone jewelry is not hard to find at any department store, or online. Due to its popularity, merchants usually have a decent selection of birthstone rings, pendants, earrings and other birthstone jewelry. You can often find coupons and discounts on birthstone jewelry, especially around the Christmas, Valentines Day, and Mothers Day when it is a popular gift item.
