Birthstones


The tradition of wearing your birthstone dates to ancient times.  It is believed that the astrological birthstone was Tibetan in origin.  The Tibetans attributed mystical powers to each gemstone.  For example, they believed that if you wore an amethyst, that regardless how much you drank, you would be protected from drunkeness.  Thousands of years ago, the Ayurvedcic Indian Medicine list was created.  Stones were given mystical and medicinal powers.

As of 1912, a modern birthstone list was formalised, and these are the customary stones we recognise today.  Jeremy France Jewellers stocks a wide range of birth stone jewellery, set in traditional and contemporary designs.  Find the birthstone you are looking for in the list below, then click on the birthstone to see some of the selected birthstone jewellery we have available.  And, your own design can be created for you!
