The creation of gemstone jewelry dates back thousands of years to ancient stories found in the Bible and elsewhere. Most scholars agree that the stories and myths behind this form of jewelry can be traced to the story of the “Breastplate of Aaron,” which was a ceremonial and spiritual garment that was inlaid with twelve natural gemstones.
In modern times, it is believed that the twelve gemstones present on the Breastplate of Aaron had additional meanings. The practice of and the custom of wearing gemstones as birthstone jewelry was first seen in 15th century Poland. In the early 1900s the connection of specific stones to birth months was formalized in the United States. People across the world embrace the concept of birthstones and place deeper meaning in the gemstone jewelry that they wear.
