About Birthstone Jewelry

December Birthstone: Blue Topaz

Blue topaz is prized for its soothing and captivating blue color, which is usually divided into three categories: sky blue for the palest shade, Swiss blue for the more saturated medium shade, and London blue for the deepest shade. Also known as an artist's stone, blue topaz is reputed to inspire creativity and enhance concentration

History of Birthstones

Chances are you can name your birthstone, but have you ever wondered how certain stones came to be associated with particular months? Most gem scholars trace the tradition to the Old Testament story of Aaron, whose breastplate was decorated with twelve precious stones, one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. Over time, these stones were linked with certain powers and tied to particular astrological signs, and later to calendar months.

There are many variations of birthstone lists, including Mystical birthstones, which originate from Tibet and date back over a thousand years, and Ayurvedic birthstones, associated with ancient Indian medicine and beliefs. Birthstones have also been tied to ancient Pagan religions, and even to the collective wisdom of the legendary lost city of Atlantis.

The Modern birthstone list, perhaps the most universally known, was released by the American National Association of Jewelers and officially adopted in 1912. Whether you embrace birthstone lore, or look upon it with a skeptical eye, there is an undeniable appeal to collecting a beautiful gemstone that is reputed to hold special power, meaning, and good fortune just for you.

2.0 out of 5 stars Seems Pretty, But..., April 8, 2009

This review is from: 10k Yellow Gold, January Birthstone, Garnet and Diamond Heart Pendant (Jewelry)

At first glance, this item seems very pretty, but it is of very poor workmanship and quality. Many of the prongs in the setting are defective or missing, thus not holding the diamonds correctly. The diamonds are very poor, cloudy, have no sparkle at all, are set crooked or improperly and are of vastly different sizing, some being almost unseen and some too big to fit in the setting; loose and almost falling out. I ordered in 2 different colors, 2 times, finding all to be bad. The chain is even thinner than the norm, arriving hopelessly tangled. The bale on the setting is so small, I was unable to find another, sturdier chain that would fit though it, as a replacement. I loved the design, but sadly, returned all. I wish these were of better quality, I would have bought several more.

This review is from: 10k Yellow Gold, August Birthstone, Peridot and Diamond Heart Pendant (Jewelry)

I bought this as a gift for my sister and she loved it! The peridot is a sparkling green and it matches perfectly with a set of earrings that my sister received as a gift some time ago. I highly recommend this pendant especially for one born in August.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute little piece, February 28, 2009

This review is from: 10k Yellow Gold, July Birthstone, Created Ruby and Diamond Heart Pendant (Jewelry)

I bought this as a Valentine's Day gift for my wife. It arrived, she initially loved it. Then she IMMEDIATELY had a hassle with the chain. It was EXTREMELY thin and difficult working with. We ended up taking the thing to a jewelry repair shop and having a heavier chain put on. Most people (women especially) would probably say the necklace "looks lovely". Even though it is so small, you have to bend down and in to actually see what it is when it is worn. My wife was nice...said she loved it...but I hated the fact it was SOOOO small. As usual, the picture had nothing around the necklace so you can accurately judge the size. If they printed the actual dimensions somewhere, I didn't see/read them. OVERALL RATING: Nice LITTLE, as in SMALL, piece of jewelry for the price. Wife still says she thinks it is "cute". As for me...I think I'll read the fine print next time.
