The origin of the birthstone--denoting a specific gem to each month of the year--dates back to at least the first century. Birthstone jewelry is supposed to bring luck to the wearer & ward off the evil eye---making it perfect as a gift on birthdays or any special occasion. There is speculation that the twelve stones in the breastplate of the Jewish high priest may have had some bearing on the concept.
