DescriptionTwelve bracelets, one for each birth month, each strung with the stone that month has carried for a long time. The list most people know was standardized by American jewelers in 1912, which is recent, but the practice behind it runs back through Renaissance Europe to a first century description of the twelve stones on the breastplate of Aaron.
