Birthstones date back to the 18th century and are commonly worn as lucky charms. It is believed wearing your birthstone improves your physical and metal conditions. Although the tradition of a monthly birthstone is a somewhat modern concept, many stones have been praised throughout ancient history as symbols and talismans that endow the wearer with strength, passion, wisdom, etc. Each stone is unique and comes with it's own powerful attributes and tales of lore.
