Birthstone for May: Meaning, Color and Jewelry

May Birthstone

Born in the month of May? Then your main birthstone is emerald, the deep green beauty. It was named the Pantone color of the year in 2013. The finest quality emeralds are a pure verdant green hue and must have a high degree of transparency. The deeper the color the more valuable the gemstone.

 

In ancient Egypt, the emerald was already mined and appreciated by Pharaohs (or kings). Cleopatra loved emeralds. This beauty is connected to Venus, Goddess of Love and signifies growth and spring. Emeralds are often associated with magic and mystery. Since they’re the color of nature, they are said to promote a calm and peaceful spirit.
