Emeralds are a family of precious gemstones that have a long and storied history spanning centuries. The first emeralds were said to be found in ancient Egypt, with emerald jewelry and gemstones even being associated with Cleopatra.

One can only imagine what her favorite emerald necklace might have been, but this rich historical moment alone makes emerald jewelry an important part of the universe of fine jewelry. When the Spaniards came to the new world in the 1600’s, they plundered emeralds in the region that is present day Colombia, and even today emeralds from Colombia are recognized as the finest emerald stones.

There are a number of emerald necklaces and emerald bracelets throughout our own collection. Our emerald poesy bracelets can be worn everyday and never taken off if one chooses, while our Skye Slim Locket with emeralds is the perfect representation of a necklace that you will want to go with you everywhere. For more of an emerald statement necklace, our emerald Catherine locket with the stones staggered on the front is an ideal choice, but at the same time the Emerald Infinity Locket is a special edition piece that can be a hero style with many parts of your wardrobe. Throughout the year, we also introduce bolder emerald necklace styles with stones we painstakingly select, and all of there are offered through our High Jewelry collection. The emeralds stones selected will range from rounds to cushion cuts, and quite often an “emerald cut” emerald which we love for its unique identity as a stone. Any quest for May birthstone jewelry will of course include emerald jewelry styles. Our Birthstone Necklace collection has a unique motif of a petite moon, with birthstone accents. We chose this motif as we are all  “born under the same moon”, and the May birthstone necklace is available in 18k gold and sterling silver with emerald accent stones. For those looking for a more whimsical approach our “emerald Taurus necklace” from our zodiac collection features emerald green enamel.
