The list of birthstones modern lists of birthstones official U.S. National Association of Jewelers, jewelers in the United States. These gemstones were officially adopted in 1912. In the United States is the recognized list.

The list of birthstones traditional contains older birthstones and is sometimes combined with the list of modern birthstones. These stones reflect social traditions of birthstones, which date from the fifteenth century. (Many jewelers have lists of traditional birthstones different).

The list of mystical birthstones is of Tibetan origin and dates back more than a thousand years.

The list of birthstones is from Ayurvedic Indian medicine Ayurveda - a type of medicine used for over a thousand years.

VARIATION ON MODELS AND RADIANT MADE

This model is inspired by two famous designs: the "Radiant" (crown) of
Henry Gross bard and "formed" (flag) by Robert Strickland. It
Have 75 facets (pavilion: 42 rings: 24 leaves: Table 8: 1)
And brightness is 78.2% of quartz.

TRIANGLE CUSHION (CHANGE)

This triangle cushion is inspired by a design created by Robert Long and Norman Steele.
We kept the crown intact but have changed the facets of the pavilion to
Reduce the depth and increase its brightness significantly. It has
70 facets (27 on the crown and 30 on the pavilion) and its brightness is 87.9%

OVAL (CHANGE 1)

This design is a variation of the traditional oval cut. It is distinguished by the presence
Of 16 additional facets, 8 of 8 on the crown and the pavilion, the arrangement and the degree
Elevation angles provide it with more brilliance and greater weight retention.

This variant is designed to gems that have a high refractive index
(Garnet, sapphire, spinal, ruby ...), able to withstand the considerable gap between the
Angles of the facets of the culet (9.90 degrees). Reproduction of the gems that have an index
Refraction less than 1.76 at the same time cause a butterfly effect, decreased
Considerable brightness and beauty of the stone.
