Among all the possible gifts that you could spoil yourself with this May, or give to a special someone on their birthday, jewelry is one thing that you can never go wrong with. Specifically, jewelry centered around birthstones, as they are extra meaningful and add sentimental value. As the month of May approaches, it’s pertinent to know that the birthstone for this month is the emerald; a stone synonymous with royalty. Egyptian queen Cleopatra loved the gem so much that she claimed all of the emerald mines in Egypt during her reign as her own and adorned both herself and her castle with it.
The jewel’s rich green shade embodies luxury and is the ideal gift for anyone who wishes to go beyond the usual diamond, gold, and silver for their choice of jewelry. To help you kick-start your birthday gift shopping, we have put together a list of emerald jewelry that we think would make for an excellent gift.
