Birthstones
 |
Birthstones are precious or semiprecious gems that represent a person's time of birth. Most birthcharts separate stones by month - for example, the set on the left is a ruby for July. However, some people prefer to wear the stone that corresponds to their astrological sign. Birthstones are a classic gift for rites of passage, such as birth, elementary or middle school graduations, sixteenth birthdays, etc. More commonly, they are given for religious rites, such as baptism, first communion, confirmation, etc. They are great gifts from parents to their children, or for young couples to exchange at birthdays or anniversaries.
