Why Emerald Holds Its Place as the May Birthstone
Emerald gets its green color from trace amounts of chromium and vanadium within the beryl crystal structure. The finest specimens show a saturated green without gray or brown modifiers. Colombian emeralds from the Muzo and Chivor mines tend toward a warmer, yellow-green hue, while Zambian stones often display a cooler, blue-green tone. Both varieties appear throughout our May birthstone selection. Beyond emerald, May-born customers sometimes choose green onyx, peridot, or chrome diopside as alternative green stones at different price points. Each stone in our inventory is natural, not synthetic or lab-created. Our sterling silver settings use 92.5% pure silver alloyed with copper for strength, and every piece ships from our US warehouse with no minimum order required.
