A Guide to Different Types of Gemstones: What You Need to Know

04 August

Gemstones have always carried meaning beyond their beauty. Long before they became symbols of luxury, they were worn for protection, identity, and personal power. Today, gemstones continue to serve the same purpose. They tell stories. They mark moments. They connect us to who we are and where we come from.

At BOZ, gemstones are chosen with intention. Every stone holds emotion, history, and significance. Among the most personal gemstones of all are birthstones, stones connected to the month you were born and believed to reflect strength, energy, and destiny.


What Are Birthstones and Why Do They Matter

Birthstones are gemstones traditionally associated with each month of the year. For centuries, they have been worn as symbols of luck, protection, healing, and personal strength. Many people choose birthstone jewelry because it feels deeply personal, like wearing a piece of their own story.

A birthstone gift carries meaning without explanation. It says this was chosen for you. It honors individuality while celebrating connection.
