May Birthstone - Emerald



The birthstone for May is the Emerald. Emeralds are beautiful gemstones with the most radiant and intense green that can be imagined. The name Emerald comes from the Greek "smaragdos" via the Old French "esmeralde", and really just means "green gemstone".

The emerald is the sacred stone of the goddess Venus and was thought to preserve love. It has also long been considered the symbol of hope.

Emerald is the gemstone that is featured in my Emerald and Silver Coil Necklace.


Here is another example of some emerald jewellery:
