What is an emerald?
An emerald is a green gemstone from the beryl mineral family, colored by trace amounts of chromium or vanadium. It’s known for its rich green hue and is considered one of the “big four” precious gemstones, alongside diamonds, sapphires, and rubies. Natural emeralds often have internal inclusions, sometimes called the stone’s “garden,” which are embraced as part of their character. As May’s birthstone, emeralds are often gifted to symbolize renewal, love, and growth.
What types of emerald jewelry are most popular for women?
For women, emerald rings, necklaces, and stud earrings are among the most sought-after styles. Solitaire emerald rings and halo settings are perfect for right-hand rings or unique engagement styles. Emerald drop pendants and gemstone line bracelets are also popular for their striking color and versatility. Whether paired with diamonds or worn alone, emerald jewelry adds bold color and timeless appeal to any look.
