Twelve-month birthstones in the jewelry world

Twelve-month birthstones in the jewelry world

As we all know, each of the twelve months has a representative "birthstone", which is used to commemorate the birth month of the birthday star.

As early as 1562, the German folk had the custom of giving specific gems to relatives and friends in specific months. They match different gemstones with the 12 months of the year as a sign of a person's birth to symbolize a certain meaning.

Dating back to 1912, only a few gems can symbolize the December birthstone. After 40 years, the list of birthstones in 1952 was updated for the first time: Alexandrite, citrine, tourmaline and natural zircon were added. Tanzanite also became one of the twelve birthstones in 2002. Until 2016, the American Jewellers Association and the American Gem Trade Association jointly added spinel to the list of birthstones.

      Of course, these particular jewels have been advertised by the media, and the market price is now unaffordable for most people.

      It is for this reason that Ninaqueen Jewelry, which has always been committed to "absolute value for money", has launched a series of exquisite but relatively affordable "birthstones" themed beads.

      Among them, the HEART-SHAPED series of birthstones are very popular. Each month is studded with gemstones of different colors, symbolizing their specific meanings. For example, the garnet in January represents newcomers and friendship, and the pink tourmaline in October represents love and tenderness.

       

      Notably, each bead is set with 110 gemstones and is nickel, lead, cadmium free and hypoallergenic. As an everyday accessory, Ninaqueen strives to pursue high standards of craftsmanship while ensuring that it is affordable.

      This is one of the reasons why it is so popular with the public.
