A Birthstone is a gemstone, usually in the form of personal jewelry and most often in the form of a ring. Each stone is traditionally associated with various qualities that symbolize the month of birth in the Gregorian Calendar. Modern lists of birthstones have little to do with either the breastplate or the foundation stone of christianity. Tastes, customs and confusing translations have distanced them from their historical origins. Ancient traditional birthstones are society-based birthstones. Early civilizations, such as those in India and Babylon, have attributed gemstones with magical properties and especially to their relationship with the signs of the zodiac.
