What are Birthstones?
Symbolic gemstones
According to many traditions there is a connection between certain gemstones and your birth month or your zodiac sign. My birthstone is diamond (April) and I do love diamonds, but don’t we all? All three gemstones belonging to my zodiac sign Aries are red and that is seriously my favourite color. Coincidence or is there more to it, what do you think? We have figured out what gemstones belong to your zodiac sign. Is your favorite gem in the list? How stunning to incorporate that in a personal piece of jewellery!
