In 1912, in an effort to
standardize birthstones, the American National Association of Jewelers officially adopted a list of birthstones. It is
currently the most widely used list in the United States and many other
locations, including Australia and Thailand. Some alternates have been
adopted to be a less expensive substitute for a cut stone.
