If you or a loved one were born in the vibrant month of May, then emerald is your birthstone—a gem that has captivated hearts for centuries with its rich green hue and timeless elegance.
At Gemondo, we believe every birthstone tells a story. And when it comes to emeralds, that story is full of royalty, romance, and renewal.
The emerald, known for its lush green colour, has long been associated with spring, growth, and new beginnings—all perfect reflections of May. It’s one of the four precious gemstones (alongside diamond, ruby, and sapphire) and has been prized since ancient civilizations.
