Birthstones

Birthstones

Any of our jewellery gifts can be made with beautiful crystal birthstones!

It is thought that the concept of birthstones originates from biblical times when 12 precious stones were assigned to the apostles and 12 gems adorned the breastplate of high priest Aaron (brother of Moses: Exodus 28) to represent the 12 tribes of Israel.

There have been many different interpretations in various cultures over the years leading to the modern day associations recognised today.
