Birthstone Jewellery Is Not Just For Birthdays!
Putting on jewellery with one's birthstone is a highly prevalent trend in today's culture. Not only is wearing one’s birthstone stylish, but it also lends an air of intimacy to the piece, as if it were an extension in some way of your identity. One of the reasons why many people think it is good luck to wear birthstone jewellery is the widespread but unsubstantiated belief that almost all precious stones are endowed with some kind of mystical or supernatural power. Let's look at some of the mysterious qualities and beliefs that are associated with these unique jewels, as well as some notable persons who have worn them.

A well-known custom that is carried on in modern times is to wear jewellery that has birthstones. Not only are necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, brooches, and a variety of other clothing accessories that are studded with these stones stylish, but they also have a deeper significance for the person who wears them or for the people who get them as presents. Another benefit of wearing jewellery with your birthstone is that it serves as a constant reminder that, even though you may not have their wealth and fame, you have at least one thing in common with famous people.
