The origin of birthstones goes back thousands of years. The stones were used to decorate the ceremonial clothes of Jewish priests. These 12 stones represented both the 12 tribes of Israel, but also the months of the year and thus became birthstones.
At that time, knowledge about gemstones was not very advanced and relatively imprecise, so at the beginning of the 20th century, in 1912 to be precise, an association of jewellers chose to clarify matters by associating one or two well-defined stones each month, taking care to respect the origins and associations of the stone months.
This classification has since then provided clarity and help in choosing a piece of jewellery that fully corresponds to a birth according to the month of the latter.
