Two romantic hearts add a bold finish to this flattering bypass-style
ring. Crafted out of bright 10k white gold is a double bypass ring that
is accented along the top by two heart-shaped bright hearts. Prong-set
natural white diamonds embellish the sides of the band and grant the
ring an elegant finish. This is a wonderful gift idea for a birthday as
the amethyst is the February birthstone.
Chances
are you can name your birthstone, but have you ever wondered how
certain stones came to be associated with particular months? Most gem
scholars trace the tradition to the Old Testament story of Aaron, whose
breastplate was decorated with twelve precious stones, one for each of
the twelve tribes of Israel. Over time, these stones were linked with
certain powers and tied to particular astrological signs, and later to
calendar months.
There
are many variations of birthstone lists, including Mystical
birthstones, which originate from Tibet and date back over a thousand
years, and Ayurvedic birthstones, associated with ancient Indian
medicine and beliefs. Birthstones have also been tied to ancient Pagan
religions, and even to the collective wisdom of the legendary lost city
of Atlantis.
The
Modern birthstone list, perhaps the most universally known, was released
by the American National Association of Jewelers and officially adopted
in 1912. Whether you embrace birthstone lore, or look upon it with a
skeptical eye, there is an undeniable appeal to collecting a beautiful
gemstone that is reputed to hold special power, meaning, and good
fortune just for you.
