Formally recognised as the birthstone of May, Emeralds are thought of as one of the most valuable and sought-after precious gemstones in the world. Emeralds are part of the beryl family of gemstones, a colourless mineral that appears in different forms when combined with other substances. For example, when beryl comes into contact with trace amounts of chromium, the result is that the beryl changes colour to green; in other words, it gives us an emerald.

Emeralds are characterised by their beautiful deep green colour and have been used in jewellery for thousands of years. Nothing says "elegance" and "sophistication" quite like a sparkling emerald ring or pendant. The crisp clearness of diamonds beautifully compliments the eye-catching qualities of an emerald, making it the perfect combination.

First found in Egypt as far back as 4,000 BC, the Emerald has become increasingly rare over the years, with the most popular places for mining being Siberia, Brazil, Zimbabwe, Brazil and a few more countries.

Like every other gemstone, the Emerald also has connections to healing. Thought to be a stone of compassion, unconditional love and unity, the Emerald has been used as a healing stone that will bring re-invigoration and freshness to the spirit and give the owner qualities such as loyalty.

We currently have some truly breathtaking emerald pieces in our Pre-Owned Jewellery Collection.
