An emerald pendant makes a lovely gift for someone with a May birthday!
As the birthstone for May, the emerald, a symbol of rebirth, is believed to grant the owner foresight, good fortune, and youth.
Emerald, derived from the word smaragdus, the Greek word for green, was mined in Egypt as early as 330 B.C.
Today, most of the world’s emeralds are mined in Colombia, Brazil, Afghanistan, and Zambia.
