Traditional Birthstones
Birthstones are gemstones which are associated with each month of the year. When you give a jewel to your loved one that is set with the birthstone corresponding to that person's birth month, your gift expresses deeper meaning and shows greater thoughtfulness.
The Gregorian calendar has poems matching each month with its birthstone. The stones mentioned on the referred poems are considered the traditional birthstones in the English-speaking societies. In 1870 Tiffany & Co. published for the first time the following poem, which describes the birthstones.
By her who in January was born
No gem save garnets shall be worn
They will ensure her constancy
True friendship and fidelity.

The February born shall find
Sincerity and peace of mind,
Freedom from passion and from care,
If they, the amethyst will wear.

In spring's sweet, flower month of May
And wears an emerald all her life
Shall be a loved and a loving wife.

All those who in July are born,
For thus they'll be exempt and free,
From lover's doubts and anxiety.

Are rustling in September's breeze,
A sapphire on her brow should bind;
To bring her joy and peace of mind.

And life's vicissitudes must know,
But lay an opal on her breast,
And hope will lull those woes to rest.

In dreary November's fog and snow,
Should prize the topaz amber hue,
Emblem of friends and lovers true.

If cold December gave you birth
The month of snow and ice and mirth
Place on your hand a turquoise blue;
Success will bless what’re you do.
