The Birthstone has its origin in the Breastplate of Aaron described in the Old Testament. This breastplate had 12 gemstones: one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. Over the years certain stones were ascribed to certain months and became birthstones. By 1912 the official birthstone list was made and has remained unchanged since.
According to secular tradition, birthstones bring good luck and health; one could certainly argue the validity of that claim. In any case, the ancient Scriptural significance of the birthstones presents a much more powerful story. Adding a birthstone to a rosary adds even more beauty and meaning to an already impressive set of prayer beads.
Birthstone rosaries include more of a personal touch than most other rosaries, and are a constant reminder of the person’s God-given gift of life. A rosary with incorporated birthstone accents make a wonderful gift for a loved one and will further call them to a deeper relationship with their spiritual mother and Our Lord himself.
