Where does this tradition come from?
The custom of linking a stone to each month of the year goes back centuries, and it's still alive today mostly as a meaningful way to gift — a way to carry something personal, or to honor someone's birth month.
Does CACUSA sell certified gemstones?
No — our pieces use zirconia in colors inspired by these stones, not certified gems. It's an accessible way to carry the symbolism of your month without the price tag of a real precious stone.
