Welcome !




'Birthstones' are special stones associated with each month of the year.
 Nowadays, many people knows what his or her birthstone is.

  Why is that?

 Because people still enjoy the folklore associated with the tradition of the birthstone.
 And some likes believing that wearing a birthstone brings them good luck and protects them.


 In Korea, with the beginning of new millenium, the previous booming of the characterguys as Zolaman, Holeman or Mashimaro, etc. is declining, but a new trend of preferences are booming such as accessories of mystic natures like birthstones or birthflowers.




 For example, in many stores, they are displaying merchandise assembled with those jewelry birthstones, for example straps for cellular phones, keyholders, eardrops, and necklace, etc. Many people are getting fonder of those goods ornamented with those stones such as wooden-carved dolls, ceramic products, or cast-metal products plated with gold or silver. Also, products associated with blood type or constellation which are custom goods are in vogue.

 Such a trend seems to reveal the attitude of the newest generations who want to characterize his/her own unique individuality.

 In this site, you can broaden your knowledge of gems (birthstones) and increase your opportunities to enjoy them. I came up with this theme because of some special motives.

  That is, by the chance I got a birthday present from my friend (a beautiful amethyst necklace), and there were ' Exhibition of Rare Meteorites and Jewels' in 'Lotte World' on that occasion which we really enjoyed.

 They exhibited more than 300 meteoric stones found in all over the world, meteoritic jewels and variety of birthstones from many countries.

  However, The definitions and classifications of birthstones are somewhat different from country to country or age to age.

  In this site, all birthstones for each months that I mentioned and classified are "official" US birthstones based on 'Modern birthstone list'.
 The Modern Birthstone list is the official birthstone list(accepted list) from the American National Association of Jewelers.
 These gemstones were officially adopted in 1912.
 This site is not intended for commercial purposes but to offer some interesting information about birthstones for your entertainments.
 I hope you enjoy. Have Fun ~ !
