Modern birthstones, which are gems associated with a person's month of birth originated in the early 1900s, according to research. As an example, emerald is the birthstone for May and garnet the birthstone for January. Each month is represented by a different gemstone.

However, the use of certain gems as the birthstone for a month of birth originated in Europe as early as the 18th century and the age-old tradition is continued until today. The use of this type of decoration or the wearing of birthstone jewellery also accounts for a good share of jewellery sales in the UK these days.

Birthstone earrings and other jewellery that are manufactured by top-rated jewellery makers in London remain popular as birthday gifts for loved ones.
