Or maybe you want to purchase a gorgeous gift all for yourself. Either way, we\u2019re here for it. One go-to gift we suggest is a special piece of jewelry featuring May\u2019s birthstone. At Shane Co., stones in lovely shades of green represent the month of May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While emerald is traditionally considered May\u2019s birthstone, we offer similarly colored stones like beautiful green sapphire and peridot due to their high quality and long-lasting properties. With our selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/fashion-jewelry\/c\/green\">green jewelry<\/a> with hand-picked stones, select this month\u2019s birthstone color featuring versatile Shane Co. styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">History and Meaning of the Emerald Birthstone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Emerald is a popular variety of beryl. The word \u201cemerald\u201d derives from the Greek word \u201csmaragdus.\u201d People have loved emeralds dating all the way back to the ancient Egyptians, and Cleopatra is said to have had a passion for the gem. The ancient Incas also loved incorporating emeralds. Since ancient times, the stone has continuously symbolized unconditional love, immortality, calming, patience, and inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"c9c8bd\" data-has-transparency=\"true\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 701px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 701\/384;--dominant-color: #c9c8bd;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"701\" height=\"384\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 701px) 100vw, 701px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/greengemstone-701x384.webp\" alt=\"A collection of raw green gemstones\" class=\"wp-image-8935 has-transparency lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/greengemstone-701x384.webp 701w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/greengemstone-300x164.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/greengemstone-768x421.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/greengemstone-380x208.webp 380w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/greengemstone-800x438.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/greengemstone-1160x635.webp 1160w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/greengemstone.webp 1280w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Green Sapphire: A May Birthstone Alternative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shane Co. carries a gorgeous alternative for May birthstone babies: green sapphire. This beautiful green birthstone is one of three precious gemstones Shane Co. carries (the other two being diamond and ruby), making it the closest quality and an excellent alternative to emerald. Sapphire is a variety of corundum, an aluminum oxide mineral that forms in crystals and can range from transparent to opaque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a high rating of 9 out of 10 on the Mohs gemstone hardness scale, green sapphire is appropriate for a wide variety of jewelry. It\u2019s also very durable and easy to clean, meaning you can safely wear a green sapphire ring to show off your birthstone without worrying about potential nicks or damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did You Know?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Legend has it that the first person to wear sapphire was Zeus\u2019 rival, Prometheus, who stole the gemstone from Caucasus along with fire from heaven. The idea that sapphire was a \u201cGem of Heaven\u201d was also popular with the ancient Persians, who believed that cut sapphires were a chip from the pedestal that supported Earth and reflected back onto the sky.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Peridot: A May Birthstone Alternative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great choice for a May birthstone is peridot. A less widely known stone than sapphire, peridot is the gem-quality variety of the mineral olivine, named for its rich, light olive-like color. Its color comes from properties of the mineral itself, rather than trace impurities, like many other gemstones. On rare occasions, peridot is even found inside meteorites! Keep in mind that peridot also represents August\u2019s birthstone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did You Know?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In Hawaii, peridot once symbolized the tears of Pele, the goddess of fire, who controls the flow of lava in volcanic eruptions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<div class=\"monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts-alpha monsterinsights-popular-posts-styled\" ><div class=\"monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts-text\"><span class=\"monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts-label\" >Trending<\/span><div class=\"monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts-post\"><a class=\"monsterinsights-inline-popular-posts-title\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/shane-co\/local-stories\/7-best-winter-proposal-ideas-in-atlanta-georgia\/\">7 Best Winter Proposal Ideas in Atlanta, Georgia<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><p><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">May Birthstone Gifts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for the perfect May birthday gift (or treating yourself), we recommend going green! It\u2019s a great way to add a personal touch by showing that you know all about May\u2019s birthstone. Green suggests love, growth, security, and abundance, so gifting an emerald-toned item is representative of your positive relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Green Accessories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the person you\u2019re purchasing for has an affinity for accessories, there are a couple of key emerald-color items we love. A green scarf is an excellent choice for anyone \u2014 it\u2019s pretty without being too personal. If you\u2019re looking for something a little pricier, a green purse is another great accessory sure to win them over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Green Decor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Plants are a thoughtful gift for the home that will add some natural green to their life. When gifting a plant, though, it\u2019s important to consider the person at hand. Are they the type who wants to care for something? If you\u2019re unsure, succulents are low-maintenance and usually a safe bet. Another great green decor gift is a scented candle. Green just happens to have a lot of pleasantly associated scents, like pine and green apple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Green Self-Care Gifts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Need a low-key gift for someone? You can\u2019t go wrong with self-care items! Green is a tranquil color associated with nature and peace. When it comes to green self-care gifts, green tea is a hit for its calming effects. We also like an aloe face mask that will bring peace and relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/green_pendant_with_diamonds.png\" alt=\"Green Sapphire Vintage Style Pendant With Diamonds\" class=\"wp-image-3330 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/green_pendant_with_diamonds.png 600w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/green_pendant_with_diamonds-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/green_pendant_with_diamonds-512x384.png 512w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/450;\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Green Jewelry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, though we may be a bit biased, we think <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/fashion-jewelry\/c\/green\">green jewelry<\/a> makes an excellent gift for those with a May birthday in your life.
