Wearing jewelry set with your birthstone will never go out of style. Birthstones will always be special and precious, not only referring to their monetary worth. Birthstone jewelry will always be a personal piece and even sentimental and meaningful for the wearer. This is because birthstones commemorate your birthday (duh), and that traditionally (or generally), it’s only the special people in your life who could think about giving them to you as a gift.

What better gift to give a special February birthday girl than a lovely Amethyst ring?

Moreover, birthstones are believed to bring in good luck for people born in their specific months. There are also those who believe these gemstones possess healing properties that get heightened during their months. For instance, if you are born in May then your birthstone is emerald and you will get the most benefit from emeralds by wearing them during your birth month.

The birthstone list may become confusing, though. Some jewelers follow the traditional birthstones, while some follow the modern ones. There’s also the Mystical Birthstones and the Ayurvedic Birthstones. Here’s a chart to guide you: http://www.gems4friends.com/birthstones.html . If you get confused as to which birthstones chart to follow, I personally think it depends on which one speaks to you the most and which one you believe in.

For those who don’t want to limit themselves (and their luck) to gemstones associated with only their birth months, there’s no rule against wearing a piece bearing multiple gemstones.

A necklace with various gemstones of various colors is pretty and refreshing:

And while gemstones are otherwise known as birthstones or are associated with a person’s birth month, gemstones can also be associated with each of the nine planets, with the astrological or zodiac signs, with the days of the week, and even with wedding anniversaries.

Ruby, for instance, is also associated with Sunday.

And jewelry with turquoise makes a great gift to your spouse for your 6th wedding anniversary.

And yes, gemstone jewelry is mostly associated with women, but there are those designed for men, too. After all, it’s not only the women who need all the luck and the good energy they can get.

Gemstone rings like this are designed for men:
