Your questions, answered
What is the May birthstone?
Emerald is the May birthstone. It is the rich green variety of beryl, and Cleopatra was famously fond of it.
What does emerald mean?
Emerald has long been linked with love, renewal and growth, which suits a spring birthday. It is also the traditional gemstone for a 55th wedding anniversary.
Are your May birthstone pieces real emerald?
Most are set with emerald CZ in a vivid green. The sterling silver stud earrings feature natural emerald and the raw styles have an uncut look, so each product page lists the exact stone.
How do I care for emerald jewellery?
Take it off before showering, swimming or applying perfume and lotions, and store it in a soft pouch or a lined jewellery box so it does not scratch against other pieces. A gentle buff with a soft polishing cloth brings back the shine.

We dispatch within 1 to 2 working days and free Royal Mail Tracked 48 usually arrives 2 to 3 working days after that. Need it sooner? Order by 12pm, Monday to Friday, and choose Next Day Delivery for ÂŁ4.95.
