Amanda’s Style File: All Eyes on Emeralds
May’s birthstone is beloved for its rich green hue and its versatility.
These 18-karat gold and diamond earrings set with emeralds from Zambia are one of 20 pieces of jewelry featured in this Amanda’s Style File, which celebrates May’s beloved birthstone.
Spring is in full bloom and the bare trees and brown meadows are turning bright green once again.
At this important time of renewal for Mother Nature, green is a symbol of fresh beginnings.
It comes as no surprise that the color green is seen as having a positive effect on human psychology and emotions as well.
The king and queen of beryls—and all green gemstones, really—is the emerald.
Beloved for centuries, emeralds are also the birthstone for those born in May.
The jewelry selects in this Style File show the range of jewelry styles that emeralds shine bright in. They can be set in yellow gold or platinum, be cabochon or faceted, fancy or less formal.
One thing is for sure, all eyes are on emeralds this month!
