I’ve recently been interested in the idea of birthstone incorporation into style. Personalization is one of my favorite features to what jewelry can portray for the unique individual, so this concept is right up my alley.

Each birth month has a birthstone (gem) and each gem has a meaning behind it. If you’re the superstitious type, like myself, you’ll enjoy wearing the specific meaning that describes you around your neck, on your wrist, or however else you choose to display it. The idea of wearing birthstones is thought to bring good luck and good health.
