Emerald has been the May birthstone since 1912 with rich grass-green colouring that’s often kissed with a touch of blue. Quality gems are also found in India, South Africa, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia, and Zimbabwe. Prized since ancient times, they can be more expensive than a high-quality diamond of the same carat weight. You can also commission earrings, bangles, necklaces and pendants. Alternative green gemstones are jade, green garnet, peridot, green amethyst and green tourmaline. Jewellery made with these gemstones is available online or off the shelf in the Ditchling gallery. Emerald jewellery is always made to commission having chosen a stone to suit your budget and design.
