Buying a Birthstone Necklace as a Gift...

Did you know that wearing birthstones is meant to bring you good luck and a great sense of wellbeing? Likewise, it's considered unlucky to wear a birthstone that does not represent your zodiac sign. A birthstone necklace is one of the most popular birthday gifts for jewellery because it's easy and fun. As early as the 5th Century, a connection was made between gemstones and the twelve months of the year. Throughout the centuries, there has been much disagreement over which stone should represent each month until "Sears" published an "official" list of all the birthstones and the months they represented. Since 1912, the year of publication, the list has remained unchanged.
