If you are shopping for a May birthday gift or a payday treat this month, you can't go past emerald green tones. The rich colour of Spring and bright evokes green blankets of grass.

Emeralds are considered to be a symbol of rebirth and love, also believed to grant the owner foresight, good fortune, and youth.

Did you know that emeralds are one of the rarer gemstones? Typically mined in Colombia, Brazil, Afghanistan and Zambia, the availability of high-quality emerald is limited.

So if your budget doesn't stretch to an emerald stone, you can't go past beautiful green crystal birthstone designs for stunning May birthday gifts.

Here are our top tips for May birthstone treats!

Swarovski green crystal

The Swarovski Attract Trilogy range comes in a number of colours, including this deep emerald green, set with clear crystals to contrast.

Crystal is both beautiful, clear and hardwearing - a perfect alternative to natural Emerald.

 

For a more traditional crystal emerald design try the Angelic range, with pave set white crystal halos framing the green stones.

 

Or for a finer look, this adjustable size Subtle bracelet is the perfect piece for wearing alone stacking with other bracelets.
