Emerald Square Faceted Sterling Silver Stud Earrings

May Birthstone

The ancient Egyptians, who valued emerald as a symbol of fertility and life, mined this bright green variety of beryl as early as 1300 BCE. Colonial Spain removed a great many emeralds from deposits in Colombia. Other localities include Russia, Austria, Norway, Australia, Brazil, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, Zambia, and North Carolina. Metaphysically, emerald works with the heart (4^th) chakra to instill love and compassion, as well as to open one to true abundance and prosperity.
