The rich green hues of Emeralds have always made people think of lush green forests, the bounties of nature, and cycles of life and rebirth.
Emeralds have been prized across the ages and have been used in jewelry and decorations for millennia. There are other green gems, but Emeralds are considered the brightest of the green gems.
Emeralds are May’s birthstone and the traditional anniversary gift for your 20th and 35th wedding anniversaries.
My Emerald jewelry for women is inspired by all the bounties of life, nature and history!
My mission is to create handmade jewelry celebrating the shapes and colors found in the natural world using materials and practices that are eco-friendly, sustainable and ethical while giving back to protect our planet.
And, always using hypoallergenic, skin-safe materials so everyone can wear these miniature works of natural art regardless of allergies.
Emerald is a birthstone! Emeralds are May’s birthstone, which makes sense since May is the first month you can expect things to be consistently green in much of the northern hemisphere.

Of course, since nature’s beauty inspires my handmade artisan jewelry, I couldn’t resist the allure of natural Emeralds!
Emeralds are a fantastic anniversary gift for anyone who loves the color green or want a little more versatility and variety in their jewelry collection.

Yes! One of the reasons I work with Sterling Silver and make sure all of my Silver is Nickel Free is to make sure my jewelry is hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin. That way, anyone can enjoy my natural stone jewelry without worrying about side effects or skin reactions.

Yes! Emeralds have been used for jewelry and decoration for almost as long as humanity has been around, so there is a lot of lore and special meanings behind Emeralds. In fact, the Emerald may be one of the most celebrated stones of all time.
Cleopatra was fascinated by Emeralds, and Ancient Egyptians thought they were connected to the cycles of fertility and rebirth.
Those meanings persisted for a long time, and still today, Emeralds are thought to aid in fertility, be a stone of love, metaphysically connected to the earth's bounties and aid in cultivating a good harvest.
