The Birthstone Truth: Why We Started This Brand

I’ve always believed in astrology—there has to be something beyond us. If the Moon can control the tides, and the human body is 60% water, how could it not affect us too? That curiosity led me to zodiac signs, where I saw just how eerily accurate they were.

Then I discovered something even more fascinating: certain gemstones interact with the body at a molecular level. Aquamarine, with its refractive index of 1.577–1.583, bends light in a way that enhances visual sharpness and cognitive function. Garnet, rich in iron (Fe²⁺), plays a key role in oxygen transport, potentially boosting energy and endurance. I was hooked. But when I went to buy a birthstone piece, I realized something—most brands sell colored stones, not the real thing. That “aquamarine” you see? It’s often just tinted cubic zirconia with none of the natural properties.

I wasn’t okay with that. So I went on a mission to source real, untreated birthstones from natural mines—ones that actually retain their unique properties. The problem? They weren’t wearable. That’s when I knew what I had to do: create high-quality, stylish birthstone jewelry that’s as real as it gets.
