Birthstone Jewelry

January's birthstone is garnet and babies born just after that month fall under the umbrella of February's amethyst. And forget about birthdays, because September's birthstone, sapphire, is one of the most popular colored gems. Birthstones chosen by different cultures (and in different eras) were not necessarily the same group of twelve gems we use today, but most people shared a common belief: wearing your special stone brings good luck. Find your birthstone and learn a little about its historical uses.
