The approaching month of May sees our attention turn to the Emerald, the birthstone of the month.
For those sharing birthdays with the likes of Adele, George Clooney, Cate Blanchett, Megan Fox and Brooke Shields, May provides the perfect opportunity to be lavished with the precious green stone.
Emeralds were believed to bring passion, bliss and unconditional love. Legend has it that wearing emeralds gives you the ability to foresee the future and see the truth. It has also been believed that emerald has the potential to cure disease and protect against evil eye (Don’t we all need a bit of that!).
Gemfields, a world leading supplier of responsibly sourced coloured gemstones, is the operator and 75% owner of both Kagem emerald mine in Zambia (believed to be the world’s single largest producing emerald mine) and have a team of specialists including Sean Gilbertson, CEO, Jack Cunningham (Sustainability Director) and Elena Basaglia (Gemmologist) to answer/ comment on any questions regarding the star of the month – Emeralds.
