The May Birthstone: Emerald  | Brinkhaus Jewellers Perth

The May Birthstone: Emerald

At Brinkhaus Jewellers, we believe every birthstone tells a story. For those born in May, the story is rich, radiant, and deeply rooted in history. The emerald, with its unmistakable green hue, has long been associated with rebirth, love, and timeless elegance.

A Gem That Symbolises Growth and Renewal

Emeralds have captivated hearts for centuries. Their lush green colour has made them a symbol of spring, growth, and renewal—fitting for those born in May when nature is at its most vibrant. Ancient civilisations, from the Egyptians to the Romans, revered emeralds for their believed powers of healing, protection, and insight.

Today, emeralds remain one of the most sought-after precious stones, treasured for their rich colour, natural inclusions (known as the jardin, or garden), and enduring elegance.

The Beauty of Natural Inclusions

Unlike many other gemstones, emeralds often contain visible inclusions. Rather than being flaws, these inclusions are celebrated as unique characteristics—tiny imprints of the earth's formation process. Each emerald is entirely one-of-a-kind, making it a meaningful gift that carries both beauty and individuality.

At Brinkhaus, we carefully select emeralds that strike the perfect balance between clarity, colour, and character, offering stones that are as personal as the people who wear them.

The Perfect Gift for May Birthdays (and Beyond)

Whether you’re marking a milestone birthday, honouring a loved one, or simply drawn to its unmistakable colour, emerald jewellery is a timeless choice. From classic emerald rings to bespoke pendants and one-of-a-kind earrings, our collection of May birthstone jewellery is crafted with care and designed to be passed down for generations.
