Emeralds are beautiful but require special care due to their natural inclusions and common clarity treatments. Here are a few tips to keep your emerald jewelry shining:

- Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and steam cleaning, which can damage emeralds and remove oils or fillers used to enhance clarity. Instead, clean with warm, soapy water and a soft brush.
- Protect from heat. Sudden temperature changes can damage the stone or its treatments.
- Protect from harsh chemicals such as bleach, chlorine, ammonia and alcohol, which can damage fillers.
- Store carefully. Keep emerald jewelry separate from other gemstones like diamonds to prevent scratches.

Welcome to May and the beautiful Emerald birthstone!

Emerald, the birthstone for May, has captivated civilizations for thousands of years. Its name originates from the Greek ‘smaragdos’, meaning “green gem,” later evolving into forms like ‘esmeraude’, while Pliny the Elder famously noted that “nothing greens greener."

Many of history’s most celebrated emerald treasures trace their origins to Colombia, long considered the premier source of the gem. Brazil and Zambia are other major emerald-producing regions. Across centuries and continents, these remarkable stones have appeared in royal collections, religious objects and museum masterpieces.

Emerald’s enduring appeal lies not only in their attractive color, but in the stories they carry of geology, history and human fascination. Today, emerald continues to symbolize renewal and vitality, connecting the natural world with centuries of cultural significance.

The right piece of jewelry says a lot—before you even say a word.

I’ve always believed jewelry is more than just an accessory.
The pieces you choose say something about how you see yourself—and what you’re drawn to.
When you wear handcrafted jewelry, especially pieces made with unusual or ethnic beads, it creates a different kind of presence. More personal than polished.
It’s for people who don’t want what everyone else is wearing—
they want something that feels like them.

If that sounds like you, you’re exactly who I design for.
Follow along! ✨
