Birthstones are defined by a classification of precious or semi-precious stones, each symbolizing a month of the year. This tradition dates back to antiquity, where stones were believed to have specific virtues based on their correspondence with astrological signs and cosmic energies. Today, gifting jewelry adorned with a birthstone is a highly symbolic gesture, merging aesthetics with personal meaning. These pieces of jewelry (rings, pendants, bracelets, brooches, earrings, anklets...) can be designed according to the birth month of your children, partner, or a loved one, offering a personalized and meaningful gift.

Origins and history of birthstones

The origin of the association of gemstones with each month of the year is indeed a subject of debate, and it is challenging to find a single, definitive explanation. This tradition appears to have its roots in ancient beliefs, but its modern form has evolved over the centuries. For those seeking simple and clear explanations, the task is daunting, as viewpoints differ between those who advocate for an ancient origin and those who see it as a modern invention.

The first group, comprised of staunch advocates of ancient origins, emphasizes the significance of gemstones in various ancient cultures. According to them, the idea of birthstones is linked to the Jewish tradition of the High Priest's breastplate, which featured twelve stones representing the twelve tribes of Israel. This concept is thought to have traversed ages, influencing Babylonian, Egyptian, and Greco-Roman civilizations, where it was believed that certain stones possessed magical and metaphysical powers connected to astrological signs and lunar cycles. This group often cites mystical texts and ancient legends to justify this connection, but it can sometimes be difficult to separate myth from historical reality, occasionally bordering on the absurd...

On the other hand, a second group, more pragmatic, argues that the association of gemstones with birth months as we know it today is a relatively recent invention. This tradition is believed to have been codified in the early 20th century, driven by American jewelers, notably in 1912 when the National Retail Jewelers Association standardized the list of birthstones for commercial reasons. This version focuses more on the commercial aspect of the tradition, highlighting that birthstones were used to create an emotional connection and encourage the purchase of personalized jewelry, making each stone a symbol of identity.

Thus, it is challenging to determine the exact origin of birthstones, given the varying interpretations. However, what touches me most is not so much where this tradition comes from, but rather the beauty and intimacy that these stones can bring. Beyond historical or commercial origins, birthstones offer a way to personalize a piece of jewelry and create a deep bond between the giver and the recipient.

Giving a piece of jewelry adorned with a birthstone also creates an object that tells a personal story. Whether to commemorate a birth, a birthday, or simply an emotional connection, this jewelry becomes a link between the past, present, and future. It evokes memories and emotions and serves as a tangible reminder of shared moments with a loved one. For me, it is this intimate and personal aspect that enriches birthstone jewelry the most.

The stones of the twelve tribes of Israel

The exact origin of birthstones remains difficult to determine with certainty, but there seems to be a consensus around their connection to the stones symbolizing the twelve tribes of Israel.

This association is mentioned in the Old Testament section of the Bible, specifically in the book of Exodus. God is said to have commanded Aaron, the high priest of Israel, to create a breastplate bearing twelve precious stones, one for each of his twelve sons who would form the twelve tribes of Israel. This breastplate, known as the Efod, was later worn by the high priests of the Jerusalem temple as a means of communication with God. It was considered a symbol of divine presence and protection. It was worn during religious ceremonies and sacred rituals, and it was believed to enable the priests to communicate with God and receive answers to their prayers.

However, the precise list of stones remains a topic of debate due to different translations and interpretations of biblical texts. The Hebrew names of the stones do not always correspond directly to modern terms, and some stones mentioned in the Old Testament are now less well-known or referred to by other names. This complicates the exact identification of the stones of the tribes of Israel, and scholars differ on the precise correspondence of the gems. Some suggest that sardius, topaz, emerald, or sapphire may correspond to significantly different stones in ancient times.

Christian symbols and astrology with birthstones

Even though the connection to the tribes of Israel is plausible, the transition to an association between the stones and the months of the year remains unclear. This evolution is thought to have been influenced by astrological and mystical beliefs. As early as the first century A.D., parallels were drawn between the twelve stones and the twelve zodiac signs. It is believed that these correspondences aimed to strengthen the connection between humanity and the universe, with each astrological sign supposedly benefiting from the properties of a specific stone.

During the 8th and 9th centuries, precious stones became the subject of numerous religious and mystical treatises. Medieval scholars not only linked the twelve stones to the zodiac signs but also to the twelve apostles of the New Testament, the foundation stones of the New Jerusalem described in the Book of Revelation, and the twelve gates of the celestial city. At that time, the protective and therapeutic virtues of stones were highly valued, and they were often worn as talismans to ensure protection, luck, and healing for the wearer.

In practice, it was customary in the Middle Ages to wear the twelve stones successively, one for each month, to benefit from their different properties. However, it was probably in the 18th century that the use of a single stone per month, corresponding to the month of birth, became established. This practice is thought to have originated in Poland, where scholars systematized the association of stones with the months, thus uniting Christian tradition with astrological elements.

Birthstones: a jeweler marketing

The modern concept of individual birthstones is relatively recent, although attempts are often made to trace its origins to various ancient cultures. The list of birthstones as we know it today was officially established only in 1912 by the Jewelers of America in the United States. Inspired by the symbolic stones of the twelve tribes of Israel, this list primarily aimed to provide a standardized guide for jewelers and their clients.

The selection of stones in 1912 likely followed economic, aesthetic, and somewhat symbolic criteria, although these criteria remain somewhat vague. It's possible that some choices were also influenced by the availability of stones in the American market at that time, which would have facilitated their commercialization. For example, stones like amethyst or citrine, which were more affordable, could have been more heavily promoted by jewelers to meet a growing demand for "accessible" jewelry while maintaining the precious appeal of the stones.

Since that initial list, several adjustments have been made to adapt the selection of stones to changing market trends. In 1952, several modifications were introduced to include stones that had gained popularity. Alexandrite, a fascinating stone known for its color-changing ability depending on the light, was added as an alternative birthstone for June. Similarly, citrine, known for its warm, golden hues, was included for November, while pink tourmaline became the official stone for October. December's lapis lazuli was replaced by zircon. These changes appear to have been motivated by aesthetic considerations as well as marketing strategies aimed at diversifying the offerings.

The most recent change, in 2002, saw the addition of tanzanite for December, replacing zircon. Discovered in Tanzania in the 1960s, tanzanite quickly gained popularity for its unique blue-violet color and rarity, prompting the jewelry industry to incorporate it into the list of birthstones. This modification reflects the industry's ability to adapt to recent geological discoveries and consumer preferences.

It is undeniable that these adjustments have a commercial dimension. By introducing new stones, the industry created an opportunity to stimulate sales and maintain customer interest in modern and diverse jewelry. The inclusion of stones like tanzanite or alexandrite, which are less common, likely allowed jewelers to offer more exclusive options and leverage rarity and novelty to justify higher prices.

However, it would be reductive to view these developments solely as a commercial maneuver. These standardized lists have also clarified offerings for consumers, making jewelry purchases more accessible and understandable. This has fostered the idea of the birthstone as a personal and symbolic gift, a trend that persists today.

In 1937, British jewelers established their own version of the birthstone list, adjusting some choices to better suit the British market. These differences illustrate how each region or culture can adapt birthstones to its own traditions or commercial preferences while retaining the fundamental concept.

Birthstones and months

As mentioned, there are several lists of birthstones, with variations across cultures. The proposed stones from Arabic, Hebrew, or Hindu traditions sometimes lack consensus, particularly regarding the precise association between stones and months. However, for the sake of simplicity and consistency, we will follow here the most commonly used modern list, widely adopted by contemporary jewelers.

To keep it simple and clear, we will only use the current list of birthstones:

The 12 birthstones chosen to represent the different months of the year

The birthstone, an intimate and personal jewel

Despite the debates surrounding the origins of this tradition, gifting a piece of jewelry with a birthstone remains a deeply personal gesture. Such jewelry goes beyond mere aesthetics; it represents a direct connection to the person it is intended for, symbolizing their birth month and, by extension, their personality. It is this intimate dimension that inspired me to offer a selection of birthstone jewelry in the shop.

Choosing a stone based on the birth month not only simplifies the selection process but also adds a unique emotional significance. It is not just a piece of jewelry; it is a symbol of the individuality and character traits of the person. According to certain traditions, each birthstone carries a particular energy or power that is said to resonate with the wearer.

Character traits and birthstones

While we remain cautious about certain interpretations regarding the correlation between stones and personality traits, it is interesting to note the symbolic associations that have persisted through the ages. Each stone is believed to represent specific qualities or virtues, often attributed to individuals born in a particular month.
