Birthstone Bracelets | Wear Your Month

Description
Twelve bracelets, one for each birth month, each strung with the stone that month has carried for a long time. The list most people know was standardized by American jewelers in 1912, which is recent, but the practice behind it runs back through Renaissance Europe to a first century description of the twelve stones on the breastplate of Aaron. Older lists disagree with the modern one and with each other, which is part of what makes the subject interesting.

A birthstone is the easiest way in for someone who does not think of themselves as a stone person. The choice is already made, so nobody has to stand in front of a wall of crystals deciding what they need.

How to Wear It

• Wear it on the hand you write with if you want the reminder, the other one if you want it quiet.
• It gives well. A birthday piece that already means something before you wrap it.
• Stack it with a second bracelet chosen for what you are working on rather than when you were born.
