Emerald

Emerald is the May birthstone – and it’s a perfect choice. Its enchanting greens mirror the splendour of spring. Few places on earth have the geological conditions needed to produce the coveted May birthstone. Widely regarded as the definition of green, Emerald is the perfect colour for spring. From the poetic description of Ireland as “the Emerald Isle” to the vibrant green of the famed gemstone itself—the May birthstone has captured hearts and minds through the ages. Variations of this rich green colour suggest soothing, lush gardens. Legend has it that emerald has the power to make its wearer more intelligent and quick-witted, and it was once believed to cure diseases like cholera and malaria. Today, it's the gemstone given for the 20th and 35th wedding anniversaries. The green birthstone was also thought to have magical powers. By placing it under the tongue, one could see into the future. Some believed it made one an eloquent speaker and exposed lovers who made false promises. Colombia has been the source of the finest Emeralds for more than 500 years, and Colombian emeralds are the standard by which all others are measured.
