May Birthstone - Emerald

Gemondo presents our extensive high quality and affordable May Birthstone - Emerald Jewellery collection.  Set in yellow gold, white gold and hallmarked 925 sterling silver this collection has something for everyone's tastes.

Emerald jewellery has been known as the May birthstone since the creation of the Gregorian calendar. This calendar had matching poems for every birthstone; the poem for the May birthstone is below:

'Who first beholds the light of day
In spring's sweet, flower month of May
And wears an emerald all her life
Shall be a loved and a loving wife.'


Known as the Gem of Spring, this beautiful green stone is a variety of beryl and was thought to foretell the future. The ancients of Peru believed the emerald ripened like the fruit on a tree, turning from clear to green as it faced the sun. The stone was often carried by travelers on land or sea as a talisman to safeguard their journey. For more information please see our emerald information page
