The Birthstone May Emerald Initial Necklace is a beautifully crafted piece, featuring a hand-engraved scrolled initial and a brilliant-cut Emerald set in a classic Victoriana star-style design. Known for bringing wisdom, growth, and intelligence, the Emerald is May's cherished birthstone.
The Emerald has a rich history, worshipped by the Incas and revered as a symbol of eternal life in ancient Egypt, where it was favored by Queen Cleopatra. With a legacy spanning over 6,000 years, Emeralds were traded in Babylon as early as 4,000 B.C. The name "Emerald" originates from the ancient Persian word that translated to the Greek "Smaragdus," meaning "greenstone."
Typically green, Emeralds can range from yellow-green to blue-green, with the finest being a pure verdant hue. According to legend, the Emerald protects against danger and strengthens the heart, making this necklace the perfect gift for anyone with May as their birthstone.

Precious Metals & Responsibility
All of the Silver and Gold is recycled.
18ct Yellow Gold : (750 parts of Gold per thousand)
9ct Yellow Gold : (375 parts of Gold per thousand)
Yellow Gold is alloyed with copper and silver to strengthen and give it longevity.
The shade of the Gold depends on the Gold content. Therefore, the 18ct Yellow colour is richer than the paler Yellow Gold.
Sterling Silver: 925 hallmarked Sterling Silver
Gold Vermeil: a layer of 18ct Gold Plate of at least 2.5 microns over the top of Sterling Silver.
Gold Vermeil is a layer of 18ct Gold Plate that will eventually wear away over time.
The speed of this wear is affected by elements such as being exposed to water, heat, chlorine, natural body oils, products and perfumes.
I know it’s tempting to wear your jewellery while swimming, showering or at the gym, but it should be avoided.
And it’s best to put your jewellery on after applying your make-up and lovely scent.
With all of my Bianca Jones jewellery, I believe in creating forever heirlooms, putting people and the planet first. My pieces are either made straight into metal, hand-carved in wax or using CAD and cast through the ancient process of lost-wax-casting locally here in the UK. All of the Silver and Gold is recycled. And each piece is hand-finished with care and love.
