Emeralds
Who first beholds the light of day
In spring's sweet flowery month of May
And wears an emerald all her life
Shall be a loved and happy wife.
The green of the Emerald reflects well in May as spring begins and winter is left behind for another year. Mined in Egypt 2000 years before Cleopatra, it became her favourite gem. It also caught the eye of the Spaniards in the 16th century as they explored the New World, resulting in fighting over Emerald mines in a number of areas including Colombia. As well as the birthstone for May, these stunning gems signify love and fidelity and are associated with wisdom, growth and patience - a powerful combination for those everlasting love affairs.
