Birthstone Pendant

Birthstones are special gemstones, the belief is that each one of us makes a special connection to one or more gemstones - this since birth. Will get deeper into birthstones in a moment but, a small note first. When you wear a pendant with your birthstone, the pendant is believed to bring good luck and keep evil and bad happenings away. No doubt that this is based on traditional beliefs but, that is how many practices took shape in the life of humans. A pendant in the early days could be a crudely shaped piece of metal holding a, roughly cut gemstone or crystal. Kaisilver pendants can be ordered in gold or silver, with your choice of gemstones. You could even request for a unique pendant to be crafted, with your own design concept. This means that, you could order any pendant with your birthstone. The experts at sales@kaisilver.com will be glad to help you with any information that you might need. 

The Kaisilver birthstone charts are undoubtedly the most widely referred charts among jewelry lovers, we have published a comprehensive birthstone list below this report. Birthstones are listed for each of the 12 months in the year, some of these months have more than one gem designated as their birthstones. So your birthstone pendant, would have a gem mentioned in the chart depending on, the month in which you were born. 

It is absolutely true that gemstones come in various grades and prices, reflect those grades. When talking about a pendant with a birthstone, the price, gem grade and design do not influence the meaning of the pendant. This is something that you should keep in mind when looking for a birthstone pendant. There are a few birthstones that command significant prices, this gets even more glaring when the gemstone size increases. Examples are the September birthstone sapphire, the July birthstone ruby, the May birthstone emerald and surely diamond the birthstone for the month of April. Selecting a suitable design, dimensions and metal (gold or silver), for a birthstone pendant can help moderate the price tag of the jewel. 

A birthstone pendant for those born in the month of June is an interesting case study. Birthstone charts including the Kaisilver list of birthstones rightly explain that, pearl an interesting organic 'gemstone' is the birthstone for June. Since pearl cannot be cut, faceted and polished like a gemstone - the design options for a pearl birthstone pendant, need to consider the specific characteristics of this birthstone. Men born in the month of June are likely to face a few challenges when, looking for a birthstone pendant. Jewelers have come up with a few options for the June birthstone, you could consider some of them for a June birthstone jewel. Shell another organic substance and moonstone, are some of the June birthstone options that you could consider. 

In the early days birthstones were linked to the zodiac sign under which a person was born. A few gem lovers continue to follow that concept, when picking a birthstone. The shift to assigning birthstones to the 12 months of the year, came much later. This made things a bit more convenient, some of the birthstones were either changed or moved around. The replacing of certain birthstones was at times done, to make things more convenient. November is a perfect example, citrine is listed as the birthstones for November on most birthstone charts. Not so longer we had yellow topaz, as the only birthstone for the month of November - the rarity of natural yellow topaz and the rising prices of the gemstone, prompted the introduction of citrine as the November birthstone. Citrine with its affordability even in fairly large sizes, opens up an extensive range of designs and styles for a November birthstone pendant. 

One more interesting example of a birthstone, this time for the month of December. Turquoise a gorgeous blue gem was at one time, the only option a December birthstone pendant. We then had blue zircon which is a natural gem, added as the birthstone December. Zircon has a fire and brilliance that comes close to diamond, designers were inspired to create a whole new range of designs for the month of December birthstone jewelry.  And then came October 2002 another interesting development for December birthstone options. Tanzanite a rare gem which is believed to be 1,000 times rarer than diamond, was added to the list of December birthstones. Truly exotic tanzanite also happens to be one of the more expensive birthstones. 

Diamond one off the most desirable precious stones of all time, marks birthdays in the month of April. Medium to good duality natural diamonds are priced high - this is even more the case as, the stone size goes towards 3mm and above. To keep the price of diamond pendants fairly moderate, designers must come up with some innovative ideas. Reducing the dimensions of an April birthstone pendant or ensuring that, the diamond sizes in the pendant are within the 3mm range - offers an effective option. This quite obviously will not be required if you have a budget to cover more, elaborate and exotic diamond pendants. Some jewelers recommend wearing a much more moderately priced (natural) gem - white zircon, as the birthstone for April. The final choice is yours, just go with what makes you feel comfortable. 

Cannot complete this report on birthstone pendants without, talking about natural and manmade gems. Since history and folklore is what led humans to the concept of birthstones, it is fair to say that a pendant when worn as a birthstone jewel - should have a natural gemstone. Nothing stops you from choosing a birthstone pendant with a manmade stone but, if you really wish to follow the tradition of birthstones - Kaisilver suggests that, you go for a pendant with a natural gemstone. You can discuss budget and requirements, with Kaisilver experts at sales@kaisilver.com they will be glad to come up with suggestions and tips. Man made gems can go by a number of names like created gemstone, lab gemstone, synthetic gem, imitation gem etc. The point is that when it comes to a gem with special meaning like a birthstone, it is better to wear a natural gem. You do not need to strain your finances and go for a big chunky gem or a the highest gem grade - Kaisilver can customize your pendant to come as close to your budget as possible.
