Emerald Jewellery – May Birthstone

Emerald Jewellery – Genuine Gemstones in Gold & Gold Vermeil

Emeralds are among the most valuable gemstones in the world—prized for millennia for their deep green colour, their rarity, and their timeless elegance. At Velur, you’ll find high-quality emerald jewellery in two elegant finishes: gold vermeil (925 sterling silver with a 14K gold plating) and 14K solid gold. Each piece is personally designed by our founder, crafted by the finest goldsmiths, and comes with a lifetime warranty—with no middlemen and at fair prices.

Emerald Rings, Earrings, and Pendants – Our Collection

Whether it's an emerald ring, emerald earrings, or jewellery featuring an emerald stone as a pendant—all pieces at Velur are available in two high-quality finishes:

• Gold Vermeil – 925 sterling silver with a 14K gold plating (2.5 µm), elegant and contemporary.
• 14K solid gold (585) – durable and valuable in yellow gold.

Our collection includes:

• Emerald Rings – as solitaires or paired with lab-grown diamonds, for women and men
• Emerald Pendants & Necklaces – can be paired with matching chains made of the same material
• Emerald Earrings – From Delicate Studs to Elegant Drops

Gold Vermeil or 14K Solid Gold—Which One Goes Best with Your Emerald?

Both versions use real gold—the difference lies in their construction:

If you're looking for emerald jewellery with a silver finish: gold vermeil offers the same look as gold, with a core of 925 sterling silver—a higher-quality alternative to pure silver jewellery. Both versions are made from recycled gold and certified sources—modern luxury with a sense of responsibility.

Genuine Emerald – Quality That Lasts

Jewellery featuring genuine emeralds, with no compromises—that is Velur’s standard when it comes to materials, craftsmanship, and quality control. Here’s what that means in practice:

• Every emerald is examined under a microscope for clarity, cut, and inclusions
• Each frame is digitally optimized before it is manufactured
• Every surface is inspected multiple times before a piece of jewellery leaves our workshop.
• Lifetime warranty against all defects in materials and workmanship

Emeralds belong to the beryl family and derive their characteristic green colour from traces of chromium and vanadium. The green emerald is considered particularly sought-after—its deep green colour and typical inclusions (known as “jardin”) are signs of its natural origin, not flaws. If you’re looking for a fresher, more vibrant shade, our peridot jewellery offers an exciting alternative among green gemstones.

What distinguishes a genuine emerald:

• Colour – deep green to grass green, depending on the chromium and vanadium content
• Cut – usually the characteristic emerald cut, rectangular with rounded corners
• Inclusions—natural and value-adding, not a flaw
• Rarity – Emeralds are considered one of the most valuable gemstones in the world

Emerald Jewellery: Modern & Antique-Inspired – Two Styles, One Standard

Clean lines or classic elegance? Whether you prefer a modern emerald or an antique-inspired design—at Velur, you’ll find both. If you prefer a lighter and particularly timeless look, our White Sapphire jewellery offers an elegant alternative.

• Modern designs—minimalist shapes, hand-drawn by the founder himself—for everyone who appreciates timeless understated elegance
• Antique-inspired designs—floral motifs, elaborate settings, antique emeralds evoking the spirit of bygone eras

Both styles share the same foundation: genuine emerald gemstones, precious metals, and a lifetime warranty.

Emeralds as Gifts – Meaning & Occasions

Emerald is the birthstone for May and symbolizes renewal, growth, and a zest for life. This makes jewellery featuring this green gemstone one of the most personal gifts you can give.

Suitable occasions:

• Birthdays in May – for Taurus (through May 20) and Cancer (starting June 21)
• Engagement or anniversary—a striking alternative to the classic diamond ring
• Special Milestones – Graduation, Promotion, Anniversary
• Just because—because true quality needs no excuse

Every Velur piece of jewellery comes with a lifetime warranty—which makes an emerald not only beautiful but also a lasting investment.

Emerald Cleaning & Care

Emeralds are beautiful, but more delicate than diamonds. Here’s how to keep your pieces looking flawless for a long time:

• Clean with a soft cloth and lukewarm water
• Do not use ultrasonic cleaners—they can enlarge inclusions in the emerald.
• Prevent scratches—do not store with harder gemstones
• Store separately, protected from pressure and friction
