Birthstones

 

The Modern Birthstone list contains the official birthstone list from the American National Association of Jewelers, Jewelers of America.  These gemstones were officially adopted in 1912.  In the US, this is the accepted list.

The Traditional Birthstone list contains older birthstones and is sometimes combined with the modern birthstone list. These stones reflect societal birthstone traditions, heralding back to the 15th century.  (Many jewelers have differing lists of traditional birthstones.)


The Mystical Birthstone list is of Tibetan origin from over a thousand years ago.
