Modern birthstones follow the list standardized in 1912 by the National Association of Jewelers (now Jewelers of America) and updated since. Traditional birthstones reflect older, historical associations that vary somewhat by culture and era. Both lists are valid; this chart shows the most commonly cited stone for each.
