Natural Emerald Earrings: The May Birthstone Collection
Emerald gets its green color from trace amounts of chromium and vanadium within the beryl crystal structure. Colombian emeralds tend toward a warmer, slightly yellowish green, while Zambian stones often display a cooler, bluish-green hue. Our sterling silver settings protect these stones during daily wear while keeping the focus on the emerald's natural color saturation. This collection spans stud earrings, drops, and dangles in weights from modest accent stones to statement pieces. Sterling silver offers a neutral backdrop that lets the green stand forward without competing for attention. The 909 pairs in stock represent a range wide enough to fit both everyday wear and occasions that call for something with more presence. SilverRush Style has sold natural stone jewelry since 2005. We photograph each piece to show actual stone characteristics, including the inclusions that occur in natural emeralds. Browse the collection to find May birthstone earrings that match your preferences for size, setting style, and budget.Frequently Asked Questions
