May Birthstone Jewelry

About

May is the emerald month — and emerald is among the most historically prominent birthstones of any month in the calendar. Where other birth months share three or more rotating stones across tradition, May has held emerald as its primary birthstone with remarkable consistency across Roman, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, and modern American gem society traditions. For May-born wearers and gift-givers, emerald carries a depth of accumulated meaning that few other birthstones can match — the same green that defined Cleopatra's jewelry collection and has anchored the most consequential engagement and wedding rings in modern celebrity history.
