May Birthstone History

Derived from the Greek word “Smaragdos” which is defined as “green stone”, emeralds have been mined
dating back as early as 300 BC and were worn in Ancient Greece and Rome. Some estimate that the
oldest
emeralds are 2.97 billion years old. Europeans were attracted to the alluring gem when the Spanish
invaded South America in the 1500s, where the Incas prized emeralds for hundreds of years. In that
time,
emeralds were also adored by the Mogul empires of India who deeply believed that this gem offered
protection of the gods.

Emerald Meaning

The emerald is believed to have mystical powers; defending against harm such as, curing diseases
protecting against evil and the ability to foresee the future and see the truth. Due to its calming
green glow, it was also considered to avert panic and keep one wearing the emerald to remain in a
state
of pure tranquility. In ancient culture the emerald represented Venus, the God of love and beauty,
resulting in the gem embodying romance. Ancient Egyptians, who had some of the first emerald mines,
idolized the emerald so much that they would bury mummies with the stone to symbolize eternal youth.

Fans of the Emerald

Cleopatra.
The captivating first lady, Jackie Kennedy had a glittering emerald and diamond engagement ring. As
