‘Emerald’ is derived from the word smaragdus, which means “green” in Greek. The colour green signifies rebirth, growth, nature and energy. As the month of May is associated with spring, the emerald really is the perfect May birthstone. According to legend and lore, the emerald stone allowed its wearer to see the future and be protected against evil spells, granting the owner good fortune in the meantime. Prized for its brilliant and beautiful green colour, the emerald is one of our favourite precious stones, often favoured by royalty due to its dazzling and head-turning appearance.
