Birthstone necklaces, pendants, and earrings | Taika Helsinki

The birthstone is a gemstone or decorative stone associated with a person's birth month. Each month has its own birthstone, which is believed to bring good luck and positive qualities to its user. Birthstone jewelry is a personal and thoughtful gift idea, especially for a young person or young adult. The use of birthstones has a long history. The list of monthly stones was originally created in the 1500s. In the early 1900s, the list was slightly modified. For this reason, some months have two different stones.
