Birthstones

Traditions of birthstones, starstones (based on astrological signs of the zodiac) and anniversary markers are some of our options when we start thinking about gifts or remembrances for members of our extended and blended families. These can include (but are certainly not limited to):

• "adoption day"
• entrustment ceremonies
• Mother's/Father's Day
• religious and secular holidays
• homecomings
• birthdays
