Judgement", presented to Aaron by Moses and in Bibel, the Breastplate has been
described as being set with twelve gemstones, each with an engraving of the
name of twelve tribes of Israel.

making it more commercially viable. The list gained its final shape in 1952 and
acquired the approval of ANRJA, American Gem Society (AGS), NJA(National
Jewellers Association) and ASIA(American Stone Importers Association). The list
