| The Modern Birthstone list contains the official birthstone list from the Jewelers of America, trade association of US jewelry retailers. This list of birthstones was officially adopted in 1912. The Roman, Arabic, Jewish, Polish, Russian and Italian lists were all different. |
| The Traditional Birthstone list contains older birthstones and is sometimes combined with the modern birthstone list. These stones reflect societal birthstone traditions, going back as far as the 15th century. (Many jewelers have differing lists of traditional birthstones.) |
| The Mystical Birthstone list is of Tibetan origin from well over a thousand years ago. |
| The Ayurvedic Birthstone list is from Ayurvedic Indian Medicine - a philosophy of medicine used for over a thousand years. |
| Stones listed in the "Other" column were found at various gemstone related websites as alternatives for each month. There are lots of different preferences out there! |
| |
| Wedding Anniversary Gemstones |
| There are lists of accepted gemstones for each wedding anniversary. After researching on the internet, this is what we found to be most typical. |
