Birthstone Jewelry

Artisan Birthstone Jewelry

Gemstones are used in meditation and rituals to gather the lucky energy of the stone being worn. Many are assigned to the different months in the Gregorian calendar – the legendary birthstone. However, modern birthstone lists may vary, for many cultures had their own lists. Novica's birthstone jewelry collection celebrates the symbols and energies ascribed to a plethora of sparkling gems.

From folklore to biblical texts, birthstones have held a special place in customs and traditions. Historians trace the custom of wearing one's birthstone back to15th century Poland, when tradition suggested everyone wear the birthstone for each month to heighten its powers. Natural crystals in handmade jewelry are thought to increase such positive energies.

Novica's birthstone jewelry collection is based on the 1912 birthstone calendar list compiled by the Jewelers of America. It is the most widely used list in the United States as well as in other countries, including Thailand and Australia. Birthstone jewelry given as a thoughtful and unique gift is destined to be received with an open heart.
