Turquoise jewellery has been known as the December birthstone since the creation of the Gregorian calender. This calender had matching poems for every birthstone, the poem for the december birthstone is below:
'If cold December gave you birth
 The month of snow and ice and mirth
 Place on your hand a turquoise blue;
 Success will bless whate'er you do.'

Highly valued by the ancient Chinese and the Aztecs, turquoise was widely thought to prevent injury, especially from falling. The Turks (after whom the stone was named) attached them to their horses' bridles for protection. Representing happiness and luck, its powers are said to be greatest when the stone is received as a gift.
