<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>The idea that birthstones possess a certain indefinable, but nevertheless real significance has long been present and still holds a spell over the minds of all who are gifted with a touch of imagination and romance. Birthstones are sacred and pure and to own and wear something, which is sacrosanct, is what makes them popular. In the 8<sup>th</sup> and 9<sup>th</sup> centuries, the interpreters of Revelation began to ascribe to each of these stone attributes of the twelve apostles. The origin of the belief that a special stone was dedicated to each month, and that the stone of the month possessed a special virtue that it could transmit to those born in that month, goes back to at least the 1<sup>st</sup> century. There is no doubt that the owner of a ring or ornament set with a birthstone is impressed with the idea of possessing something more intimately associated with his or her personality than any other stone, however beautiful or costly. Birthstones have been a part of various cultures' belief systems for centuries and its roots can be traced to the religious traditions of Judaism, Hinduism, and Christianity.

It is believed that Aaron, the brother of Moses wore a breast ornament decorated with 12 gems, to represent the 12 tribes of Israel. The 12 gems can also signify the twelve months of the year in some cultures. As for birthstones, there are seven stones that represent the seven days of the week. The seven birthstones are Pearl for Monday, Garnet for Tuesday, Cymophane or Cat’s-eye Chrysoberyl for Wednesday, Emerald for Thursday, Topaz for Friday, Sapphire for Saturday, and Ruby for Sunday.
