December Has Several Birthstones

Welcome to our new updated blog featuring interesting stories, useful tips, and jewelry in the news.

Although birthstones actually date back to biblical times and were associated with the zodiac, the official birthstone list was created in 1912 by the Jewelers of America Association. 

The original birthstone for December was Turquoise. As time went on and turquoise was not available in every store, Blue Topaz  or Zircon was added as an alternate less expensive birthstone. 

Tanzanite comes from Tanzania and the rich looking stone was discovered in 1969 and added to the official birthstone list in 2002.
