Choose a gem for you



Most gem scholars agree that the tradition of birthstones are arose Breastplate of Aaron: a ceremonial religious garment set with the twelve gemstones, which represented the twelve tribes of Israel and also corresponded with the twelve signs of the zodiac and also with the twelve months of the year.

Because ancient people did not always classify gemstones by its mineral species like we do, there is some debate about that gemstones were set in the breastplate and why. Because of this, different cultures around this beautiful world have developed different birth stone lists. The modern day list that you know is only the most recent one list: some older lists still exist. Some also argue that the proper way to assign gemstones is according to astrological sign and not according to month.

We think it is more fun to choose the gemstone that speaks for you from all the possibilities. Of course it is hard to keep track of all those lists. Enter the Gem-o-Matic!
