Gemstones were always believed to have some mystical powers and attributes that could be passed on to the wearer. A Birthstone is the gemstone associated with the month in which one is born. Astrologers have attributed good luck and certain healing & soothing powers to the wearing of birthstones.
In recent times Color Enhanced Diamonds due to their hardness and durability have proved themselves as a better alternative to most of these gemstones. Not only are Color Enhanced Diamonds more durable but their brilliance makes the jewelry look more appealing. Also, in mothers rings putting colored diamonds that share the same brilliance looks better than putting different types of gemstones next to each other.
