Birthstones are gemstones that are traditionally associated with each month of the year. Each stone is believed to hold unique properties and significance, often linked to the zodiac signs and personal traits of individuals born in that month. For example, January is represented by Garnet, symbolizing protection and strength. These stones are often used in jewelry, making them popular gifts for birthdays and other celebrations. Many people wear their birthstone as a way to connect with their identity and heritage. The tradition of birthstones dates back to ancient times, with roots in Jewish history and the Bible.
