I found a beautiful poem on Birthstones on Wikipedia and thought of sharing it with you. Origins of the poem are said to be from the Gregorian calendar, and Tiffany & Co. first published this in a pamphlet dated 1870:
By her who in this month (January) was born
No gem save garnets should be worn;
They will ensure her constancy,
True friendship, and fidelity.
The February-born shall find
Sincerity and peace of mind,
Freedom from passion and from care,
If they an amethyst will wear.
Who in this world of ours their eyes
In March first open shall be wise,
In days of peril firm and brave,
And wear a bloodstone to their grave.
She who from April dates her years,
Diamond shall wear, lest bitter tears
For vain repentance flow, this stone,
Emblem of innocence, is known.
Who first beholds the light of day
In spring's sweet flowery month of May
And wears an emerald all her life
Shall be a loved and happy wife.
Who comes with summer to this earth,
And owes to June her hour of birth,
With ring of agate on her hand
Can health, wealth, and long life command.
The glowing ruby shall adorn,
Those who in July are born;
Then they'll be exempt and free
From love's doubts and anxiety.
Wear a sardonyx or for thee,
No conjugal felicity;
The August-born without this stone,
`Tis said, must live unloved and lone.
A maiden born when September leaves
Are rustling in September's breeze,
A sapphire on her brow should bind
`Twill cures diseases of the mind.
October's child is born for woe,
And life's vicissitudes must know,
But lay an opal on her breast,
And hope will lull those woes to rest.
Who first comes to this world below
In dreary November's fog and snow,
Should prize the topaz's amber hue,
Emblem of friends and lovers true.
If cold December gave you birth,
The month of snow and ice and mirth,
Place on your hand a turquoise blue;
Success will bless whate'er you do.

Crazy Jewellery Idea
This is a fantastically crazy unique idea, that no one would ever think of... Because it is so weird and yucky (to most people I know!)...
Jared Gold, a designer from Salt Lake City has made a creepy creation - a Giant Madagascar Hissing Cockroach Brooch. The roach is alive...! If you don't know what a Madagascar hissing cockroach is, it is the ones they put in boxes in the reality series Fear Factor...or the ones they make you eat! Anyway, the giant roach is encrusted with Swarovski crystals and comes with a tiny 'leash'..the idea is so that you can attach it to your clothing and let the 'thing' wander around. With proper care they can live for up to a year. Would you like one? It goes for USD80.
