Many people have a special affection for birthstones, the gemstones that are associated with the month in which they were born. These precious and semi-precious stones are believed to have unique properties that can bring good luck, health, and prosperity to their wearers.

 

 

One of the reasons why people love birthstones is that they serve as a personal connection to the month of their birth.
