BIRTHSTONES

Birthstones are gems associated with the date of one's birth, with each month having its own unique stone. Wearing a birthstone is commonly known to bring good luck or health and each gem is believed to have it's own mystical power.

SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC

The term Zodiac comes from ancient Greek "Zodiakos Kyklos" and refers to a "circle of the animals'. The Zodiac is a family of constellations that lie along the ecliptic (the plane in which most of our Solar System lies). Usually, 12 constellations are listed in the Zodiac, but there is actually a thirteenth constellation that crosses the ecliptic, Ophiuchus (between Scorpio and Sagittarius).
