About Emerald
Emerald is the green to bluish green variety of the mineral beryl, with its colour linked to chromium.
- Birthstone
- May
- Hardness
- 7.5–8 (Mohs)
- Everyday wear
- Emerald has only fair to good toughness, so it needs more care in wear than ruby or sapphire; protect it from hard knocks.
- Care
- Clean gently with warm, soapy water. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, which can weaken stones that already have fractures, and steam, which can draw out the oils or resins used to fill them.
- Meaning and tradition
- Emerald's green has long been linked with rebirth and spring. In folklore it was believed to let its owner foresee the future, reveal whether a lover's promise was true, and make the wearer an eloquent speaker; it is the gem for 20th and 35th wedding anniversaries.
Meanings and traditions are beliefs people have held about these stones, not proven effects, and are no substitute for medical advice.
A note on value
- Made in solid Sterling Silver.
