Preamble – Birthstone Chart

 

 

 As a preamble to any gem discussion or trendspeak, who can ignore the perennial chart that we are all so familiar with?

I remember the very first birthstone chart that I’ve seen was the one that I purchased from NZ years ago.

 

Some believe in its benefits in wearing your birthstone in the month of your birth. I was more mystified with the different hues of each individual gemstone and its beauty.

Peridot, quartz, amethyst are some of the stones that speak to me. What are yours?
