May's birthstone: the enchanting emerald

May's birthstone: the enchanting emerald

May babies, get ready to bask in the radiant glow of your birthstone! We're about to take you on a journey through the captivating realm of emeralds. Emeralds have dazzled and delighted throughout the ages, earning a reputation as one of the most sought-after gemstones in the world. They definitely deserve it! 


From emeralds’ fascinating history and legendary folklore to their stunning symbolism and irresistible allure, we'll leave no stone — or gemstone — unturned. So fasten your seatbelts, because we're about to embark on a dazzling adventure through the world of May's birthstone.


Believe it or not, the word “emerald” comes from the ancient Greek word “smaragdus,” meaning green. Many ancient civilizations believed that gazing at an emerald could restore your vision and comfort a troubled heart. That wasn’t the extent of emerald’s powers though. Legends also say that emeralds can help you foresee the future if placed under your tongue, can repel cholera and malaria, make someone an eloquent speaker, and help you know if someone is telling the truth.


As always, Dickinson Jewelers can’t endorse any of those claims, but we for sure endorse our amazing emerald jewelry! Whether you’re shopping for someone who holds a May baby dear or you’re captivated by the beautiful color, you can’t go wrong with emeralds. Here are just a few of our favorites in store. 




We are so into fashion rings right now, and this one doesn’t disappoint! This yellow gold ring uses diamonds and the milgrain technique to make the emeralds sparkle. It makes us think of a night out in the Emerald City in the absolute best possible way. 




From our Little Luxuries boutique, Kendra Scott dazzles with a line of emerald crystals. This Grayson pendant necklace is a no-fuss way to display your love of this luxurious color. Like many of Kendra Scott’s pieces, this necklace also has matching earrings available for purchase. 




Huggies are definitely having a moment, and we’re here for it! These emerald and diamond hoops are named “huggies” because they hug your earlobe, dangling much less than traditional hoops. 


While we can't verify the legends surrounding emeralds, we can certainly vouch for their undeniable allure. At Dickinson Jewelers, we offer a stunning selection of emerald jewelry that showcases the beauty of this luxurious gemstone. From the mesmerizing diamond and emerald fashion ring that evokes the enchantment of the Emerald City to the elegant Grayson pendant necklace by Kendra Scott, there's a piece to suit every style. Stop by our Dunkirk or Prince Frederick locations, and our jewelry stylists can help you find the emerald that will enchant you!
