Jewels & Desires - Handmade Gemstone Jewellery

Birthstones

A tradition has developed over time, where certain gemstones have been associated with the time of year. This has gone hand in hand with associating the time of year a person  is born with certain characteristics and hence certain stones - Birthstones.

Numerous lists have been put together, but the National Association of Goldsmiths in Britain organised an 'official list', which is used all over the world. Check out the table below if you are looking for a piece of jewellery for a special birthday.
