JEWELRY FLICKER

The origin of the belief that a particular stone was dedicated to each of the twelve months, and that the stone held a special virtue or power that it could transmit to those born in that month, goes back  at least the first century. Since ancient times, colored stones have been thought to possess  magical powers and the ability to transfer those traits to those who were born in that particular month.
