The history of birthstone bracelets
The idea of linking a stone to the month when the person was born dates back to biblical times. Many researchers believe that it comes from a sacred breastplate of Aaron containing twelve gemstones. The Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible) says that every one of these stones corresponds to each of the twelve Israel tribes. There are for rows with three stones in every one of them:
- The 1st row: carnelian, chrysolite, and emerald;
- The 2nd row: turquoise, sapphire, and amethyst;
- The 3rd row: jacinth, agate, and crystal (that is quartz);
- The 4th row: beryl (that is aquamarine), lapis lazuli (or sapphire), and jasper.
Another interesting fact is that in the 5th century CE, St. Jerome made a parallel between these gems and the zodiac signs. Thus, people collected all twelve gems and wore them throughout the year, believing in their magic power. The modern idea of an association of a gem to one particular month appeared in the 16th century. By the end of the 18th century, people fathomed that they needed to wear only one stone related to their birth month. And during this period, a “traditional birthstones” list appeared in Poland. Finally, in 1912 a “modern birthstones” list was released by the United States National Association of Jewelers.
Find your unique birthstone accessory, and it will become your protective amulet against all life harms and evils.
