The Celtic Tree Calendar associates a different tree, each with it's own Ogham symbol, with different times of the year. The Tree associated with a persons birthday therefore gives them their Birth Ogham. Each necklace comes mounted on a card explaining a little about the calendar and what each Ogham signifies in terms of a persons characteristics.
