The pearl ring became a symbol of a promise around the time of World War II. The soldiers that were going to be shipped off to war would give their significant other a pearl ring, promising that if they were to return they would surely be married. The pearl was given instead of a diamond for monetary reasons, after all why would a man pay for a diamond ring attached to a marriage that may never have the opportunity to take place.

How much do you know about your BIRTHSTONE?
The origin of birthstones can be traced back to the time of Moses. A biblical illustration of the same can be found in Exodus 28, 15-30. It is said that Moses in accordance to the instructions from God, ordered a breastplate for his brother Aaron, who was the first head priest. During religious ceremonies, the head priest used the breastplate. Moses dutifully followed the divine instructions and commissioned the making of a breastplate with 12 colors (gemstones) arranged in a particular manner.
The command of Moses was followed and a breastplate with four rows of three gemstones each was made to represent the twelve tribes of Israel was made. With time, the significance has undergone changes. The gemstones that initially represented the twelve tribes of Israel have now come to represent the twelve months of the calendar and the twelve signs of the Zodiac. Eventually, people preferred wearing gemstones that match their stone of birth, marking the evolution of birthstones.
Colors have a considerable effect on us. From bright passionate red to youthful green and stark black, birthstone colors have their unique significance.

Black is the absence of color and is symbolic of the universe. It has positive connotations in some cultures while it is associated with mourning and death in others. It is indicative of harmony and stability. Sometimes it is used to represent wisdom.
Blue holds the power of healing and protection. It is the color of loyalty and confidence.
The color of lilac or lavender is the harbinger of love and success.
Brown stands for reliability and simplicity.
Green is symbolic of prosperity, money, fertility and growth. Green is a sign of youth and vigor.
Purple is often with arrogance or cruelty.
Red is a color of high energy, excitement and strength. It has associations of physical energy, passion and intense emotions.
Yellow stands for optimism and hope. It is indicative of intellect and philosophy.
White is a sign of purity and peace.
