Until 1912, many birthstones were non transparent gems. That year, the National Association of Jewelers released a modern birthstone list, which featured exclusively transparent gems. Thus, tourmaline replaced opal. Other gems were demoted, too. For example, March’s bloodstone was replaced by aquamarine. These changes have nothing to do with bad luck. Birthstone revisions continue to this day, mostly driven by marketing. Here we list many of the stones we at Argenti Jewelry use in our pieces. Extensive information charts below.
