May Birthstone: Emerald

May’s stone is emerald. It is cut and moving in the Collection.

Emerald is beryl coloured green by chromium or vanadium. The internal fissures jewellers call the jardin are part of the stone, not a flaw.

The Optics

Emerald's natural inclusions, called jardin, are internal fractures and minerals unique to each stone.
