Birthstones: Meaning, Origin & Effect
What are birthstones, and how did their significance arise?
The custom of wearing birthstones as jewelry originated in 15th-century Poland, but its roots go even further back. In the Old Testament, specifically in Exodus 28:15-30, there is mention of a breastplate worn by the high priest Aaron. This breastplate was adorned with 12 different gemstones representing the 12 tribes of Israel. These ancient traditions, combined with the allure of gemstones, eventually led to the modern practice of associating each month and zodiac sign with a unique birthstone.
Why are there different birthstone lists?
In ancient times, gemstones were typically identified by their color rather than their mineral composition. This led to varying interpretations and the creation of different birthstone lists. The gemstones from Aaron’s breastplate cannot be definitively identified, contributing to these differences. The first modern and “official” birthstone list was created in 1912 by the American National Retail Jewelers Association (now known as Jewellers of America) and has since been updated multiple times. COEUR DE LION's Birthstone Collection draws on international traditions, featuring a unique stone with special symbolic meaning for each month.
The 1912 Birthstone List
The first official birthstone list was published in 1912 by the American National Retail Jewelers Association. This historical list assigned a specific gemstone to each month, laying the foundation for modern birthstone traditions. January was represented by garnet, February by amethyst, and March by aquamarine or bloodstone. April was associated with diamond, May with emerald, and June with either pearl or alexandrite. July was assigned ruby, August peridot or sardonyx, and September sapphire. October featured opal or tourmaline, while November included topaz or citrine. Finally, December was represented by turquoise, lapis lazuli, or zircon. This list continues to serve as the basis for many birthstone traditions, emphasizing the symbolic significance of gemstones for each month. .
