Happy May! 💚💚💚 Emerald is the birthstone of those born in the month of May! Mined in Egypt as early as 330 BC, some of the oldest emeralds are 2.97 billion years old! 💚💚💚 While many people cherish these beautiful stones, Cleopatra is probably the most famous for her love of emeralds- she even claimed ownership over all of the emeralds in Egypt during her rein! 💚💚💚 The emerald is a symbol of rebirth, and is thought to give the wearer intuition, good fortune, and a youthful charm! 💚💚💚 We have some beautiful emeralds in the shop to incorporate into your handmade creations! Consider a rough cut bead for a pendant or floating solitaire, or a stretchy bracelet full of these vibrant green chips!! 💚💚💚 #itsgonnabemay #emerald #roughcutemerald #emeraldgemstone #maybirthstone #green #springvibes #maybirthdays #gemstonejewelry #beadcache
