About Birthstone Jewelry

May Birthstone: Emerald

May's birthstone, with its vibrant, bottomless green, is a powerful symbol of renewal, fertility, and joy. Those born in May carry the emerald to attract success, personal growth, and inner peace. Some say this captivating stone even helps predict the future.

History of Birthstones

Chances are you can name your birthstone, but have you ever wondered how certain stones came to be associated with particular months? Most gem scholars trace the tradition to the Old Testament story of Aaron, whose breastplate was decorated with twelve precious stones, one for each of the twelve tribes of Israel. Over time, these stones were linked with certain powers and tied to particular astrological signs, and later to calendar months.

There are many variations of birthstone lists, including Mystical birthstones, which originate from Tibet and date back over a thousand years, and Ayurvedic birthstones, associated with ancient Indian medicine and beliefs. Birthstones have also been tied to ancient Pagan religions, and even to the collective wisdom of the legendary lost city of Atlantis.

The Modern birthstone list, perhaps the most universally known, was released by the American National Association of Jewelers and officially adopted in 1912. Whether you embrace birthstone lore, or look upon it with a skeptical eye, there is an undeniable appeal to collecting a beautiful gemstone that is reputed to hold special power, meaning, and good fortune just for you.

This bracelet is really pretty, delicate and classy. The emeralds are light but noticeable. Under my loupe they look decent for the price. I like the two-tone color that can be worn with a lot of other jewelry. I have a small wrist and the bracelet is almost too big but it doesn't slip off. The clasp is very secure. This one is a keeper.

Please note this bracelet is not a bold piece at about 4mm width. It's much more delicate and dainty than, say, a tennis bracelet. I'd expected a bigger presence, yet it *is* very pretty and well made. The emeralds are light and mostly clear to the naked eye. The two tone aspect makes it a good, everyday piece that will match silver or gold jewelry. Don't look for diamonds on this; at the price, I wouldn't expect them. It's quite giftable--a lovely bright, feminine bracelet for year round wear--that I'm adding to my gift stash. A similar piece in 14k would cost much, much more, and this bracelet looks believable with real emeralds at an affordable cost.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty little bracelet, December 19, 2009

This is a pretty little bracelet, very light and seemingly delicate. The clapse is on the one hand somewhat difficult to open and yet also not quite secure (the side guard does not snap into place). I'm hesitant to wear it outside of the house for fear that the clapse might release and it will drop from my wrist. The jade is definitely more of an accent than the main feature, so if you are looking for a jade or green bracelet, you might want to try something else. That said, I got this one sale and feel that it's quite worth the money I paid.
