Tell Your Story with a Stone

Birthstones have been around since ancient times. Gemstones used to be distinguished by color, and in many cultures were thought to bring health, luck, and prosperity. The concept of twelve stones is thought to come from the breastplate of Aaron described in the Old Testament Book of Exodus as containing twelve stones representing the twelve tribes of Israel. This page is dedicated to celebrating your birth month with unique jewelry, hand-crafted by league-juried artists.
