This would be a brilliant addition to any jewelry lover’s collection. For those who fancy emeralds or were born in May, this will end up being an all-time favorite.

The emerald is a notable gem throughout the past and in modern times. As one of the three precious stones, it leaves onlookers green with envy. Emeralds have a special place with royalty over history, as they were said to be one of Cleopatra’s favorite gems. These green beauties were mined as early as 330 B.C. in Egypt and continue to be in heavily mined in countries such as Zambia and Columbia.
