May Birthstone | Emerald

Explore the birthstone of May, emerald! Emeralds vary in colour from light to deep green, the most desired colour. It’s commonly thought that an emerald’s colour derives from the presence of chromium, replacing some of the aluminium in the mineral’s structure. Emerald is thought to be a symbol of regeneration, hope, faith and is a guide for success in love, marriage and motherhood.

Why not make a piece of birthstone jewellery as a very personal gift for someone? A pair of snaptite earstud settings are so easy to set and an affordable way of wearing emeralds which would make a lovely gift when packaged in a black velvet presentation box. We also have a large range of settings for cabochons and faceted stones as well as beading threads, tools and findings. For inspiring ideas, visit 'Make the Look' where you will find our easy to re-create jewellery designs. Read more about the history and usage of emerald in our Gemstone Focus.
