Emerald Crystal Jewelry

Every emerald here is natural and lab-certified. Start with the Green Emerald Bead Bracelet. For less, the Pure Emerald Edition mystery bag holds one real emerald for $39.97.

Think about the occasion. Emerald is the May birthstone and a traditional 20th or 55th anniversary stone, so it suits both. The bead bracelet is about 6.3 to 7.1 inches long, so check the fit before you order.

Natural emeralds usually show small inclusions, which are a sign they're real. Colors vary from stone to stone. Check the delivery date on the product page, and know that unworn items can be returned within 30 days.

Yes. Emerald rates 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale. That's hard enough for daily wear. Take it off before heavy activity, like workouts or yard work, to avoid hard knocks against walls or tools.

Cleanse emerald with moonlight, a Selenite plate, or sound. Avoid harsh chemicals and long hours in direct sun. For everyday cleaning, a gentle wipe with a soft cloth keeps it bright.
