The May birthstone is the Emerald, a stone which is more rare and valuable than most other stones, in fact it is known as one of “The Big Three” alongside the Sapphire and Ruby. Typically, they are mined in countries such as Brazil, Colombia, and Zambia.

The gorgeous rich green has been used in both royal crowns and engagement rings, and it is estimated that the oldest emerald is 2.97 billion years old!

As with all stones, the emerald is said to have special powers and is thought to relax the wearer. It’s also said that the emerald is a symbol of love and rebirth.
