About Jewel Tree London

The origin of Birthstone in the Western world is is believed to have dated back to the breastplate of Aaron, which contained 12 gemstones representing the 12 tribes of Israel. However, age-old cultures like the Hindus are known to have assigned birthstones over a thousand years before. Surprisingly, there is not a huge difference between the stones assigned across cultures, which makes one wonder that there is perhaps some true science behind it. The differences in stones arise mainly from the differences in the astronomical calendar calculations. In 1912 the then American National Association of Jewelers, now called Jewelers of America met in Kansas and officially adopted a Birthstone list which has since been popularly followed by the English speaking world.
