May Birthstone Necklaces in Sterling Silver  

Natural Emerald Necklaces for Those Born in May

Emerald belongs to the beryl mineral family, alongside aquamarine and morganite. The green color comes from trace amounts of chromium and vanadium in the crystal structure. Colombian emeralds tend toward a warmer, yellow-green tone, while Zambian stones lean cooler and more blue-green. We set these natural emeralds in .925 sterling silver, a standard we have maintained since opening in 2005. Our May birthstone necklaces include pendant styles, multi-stone designs, and statement pieces with larger center emeralds. The settings protect the stones while allowing light to enter from multiple angles, which matters for emeralds since their depth of color shifts with illumination. Each piece ships with information about the stone and its origin. We photograph our jewelry under consistent lighting so you can compare color saturation across pieces. If you have questions about a specific emerald necklace or want details about stone size and clarity, our team responds within one business day.
