Zodiac Birthstones: Eternal Beauty with a Celestial Touch
People worldwide have cherished the tradition of using gemstones to mark special occasions and convey meaningful messages to loved ones for centuries. Particularly, zodiac birthstones symbolize individuality while deeply connecting the wearer to the cosmic energies of the universe.
The History of Zodiac Birthstones
The concept of gemstones associated with zodiac signs dates back to biblical times. The Roman-Jewish historian Josephus connected the 12 stones in the high priest Aaron's breastplate to the 12 zodiac signs and the 12 months of the year. However, it wasn't until the 16th century in Poland that wearing gemstones based on one's birth month became popular, signifying good fortune and protection.
