Birthstone of the month
May’s birthstone is the vibrant and verdant green emerald, a variety of the mineral beryl. Columbia and Zambia are the two main producers of emeralds. It is a beautiful stone but also more delicate than the other three precious stones due to frequent inclusions which makes it more easily chipped and damaged. There is a vast range of qualities when it comes to choosing an emerald. The most desirable stone has a pure saturated colour and a high level of clarity which is inevitably reflected in the price. We can of course source stones of varying size and quality to suit your budget.
