Precious
and semi-precious gems linked to birthdays date as far back as the 15th
century. Unlike today, early birthstones were linked to signs of the
Zodiac instead of calendar months. Almost everyone appreciates a
birthstone, and it shows that you actually put some thought into the gift.
Many people believe that wearing their birthstone protects them and brings
them good luck.
