The May birthstone has a rich, royal history. For instance, emeralds were loved by ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Notably, Cleopatra adored emeralds and wore them often. In fact, Romans believed emeralds gave wisdom and foresight. Did you know Emeralds were even buried with mummies in Egypt? They were believed to bring eternal youth and protection. People across centuries have admired this vibrant green stone.
Why the Emerald is a Red Carpet Favourite
In the modern world, particularly in entertainment, emeralds remain a classic. Many celebrities love the deep green glow of emerald jewellery.
Beyoncé has been seen wearing bold emerald earrings on multiple red carpets. Her emerald jewellery at the Grammy Awards left fans stunned.
Angelina Jolie famously wore 115-carat emerald drop earrings to the 2009 Oscars. Those earrings became an instant fashion legend.

Emerald vs Diamond: Which One is Right for You?
Emeralds and diamonds both have charm. But they’re quite different in character. The April birthstone diamond symbolises strength and purity. It’s clear, sparkly, and traditional. The May birthstone, emerald, is more poetic. It speaks of nature, renewal, and emotion. Emeralds are ideal for people who love colour. They appeal to those who seek deeper meaning in jewellery.
