The birthstone tradition was started in ancient times and has survived into this modern era of ours. The current birthstone list was established in Kansas City, MO in 1912 when the National Association of Jewelers met to rework and revise the list that had been in use since the 1400's.  Only six of the stones from the older, traditional list remain.  Amongst them, the pearl, the birthstone for June, is the most timeless, classic and treasured of all gems. Pearls are also the recommended gift for couples celebrating their 3rd and 30th wedding anniversaries, many these occasions also fall in June as it is the most popular month of the year for nuptials to take place.  Throughout history, these noble gems have been associated with wisdom, wealth, purity, romance and mystery. The ancient Egyptians were buried with them. In Rome, pearls were considered the ultimate symbol of wealth and status. The Greeks prized them for their beauty and association with love and marriage. Medieval knights wore them in battle as a talisman against injury. And during the Renaissance, some European countries banned all but nobility from the right to wear them.
