 Birthstones, clockwise from top:Garnet, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Diamond, Emerald, Pearl, Ruby, Peridot, Sapphire, Opal, Topaz, Turquoise

Last holiday I and my boyfriend decided to go on a trip to the east - India and Thailand. The trip was great, a whole new experience into a world I didn't know exists. The most memorable part in the entire trip was with this newly wed couple - Mahesh and Rita. On our way from Delhi to Agra we got talking. I noticed Mahesh wear an enormous sapphire and Couldn't resist complimenting it. That is when Mahesh told us of his adventurous journey from rags to riches, a blessing of the sapphire he was wearing. He told us about the importance of astrological and birth stones and how these stones are believed to influence life. Zack and I returned to California and Zack proposed to me. The Betrothal ring he gave me had my birthstone - Aquamarine! Aquamarine is believed to bestow the wearer with love and luck... I hope it does the magic for you he said. And you know what it actually did. I feel the stone has brought the magic in my life.
