Emerald Collection
May Birthstone
The name emerald comes from the ancient Greek for 'green' and the first known emerald mines date back to Egypt in 330BC. Cleopatra was known to have a passion for emerald, using it in many of her royal adornments. Emerald is a variety of the mineral beryl, and gets its green colour from traces of chromium and vanadium. Its colour ranges from yellow-green to blue-green and only gems that are medium to dark in tone are considered emerald. Emerald is a dramatic stone that epitomises glamour.
