Happy May everyone! New month, new beautiful birthstone - this month’s gem being enchanting Emerald. A gemstone that has been treasured for thousands of years, Emerald was said to be Cleopatra’s favourite gem and one which she allegedly adorned herself with day and night! It was also a firm favourite of Elizabeth Taylor, who famously starred as the Egyptian Queen in the film, with her emerald pendant from the film selling for a huge $6.5 million. We also know Cleopatra was a big fan of pearls - so wonder what she would have made of our May Collection of “Terra Mare” Pearls 🐚💎 which combine the pearl treasures of the ocean 🌊 with emerald 💎💚💎 treasures of the earth?
